Description of Business. General Medcross, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Florida on April 21, 1983. The Company's offices are located at 3227 Bennet Street North, St. Petersburg, Florida, 33713. The telephone number at that address is (813) 521-1793. The Company has several wholly owned and partially owned subsidiaries. Together with its subsidiaries, the Company currently concentrates its efforts into four distinct areas: * Ownership and operation of an Internet access and related services business which provides such services to individuals and businesses throughout the United States; * Ownership and operation of domestic radiological diagnostic imaging services; * Management of therapeutic medical modalities; and * Sales and service of diagnostic imaging equipment in the Far East. The Company has only recently entered into the Internet related business via its acquisition of I-Link Worldwide, Inc., a Utah corporation ("I-Link") in February 1996. See "Recent Developments". Recent Developments I-Link Acquisition. On February 23, 1996, the Company closed its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of I-Link from ILINK, Ltd., a Utah limited partnership in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.007 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company. Prior to the acquisition, the assets and liabilities of ILINK, Ltd. were transferred to I-Link (which had no prior activity) at their historical cost. The purchase price was determined through arms-length negotiation. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, 2,600,000 shares of the Common Stock issued pursuant to the acquisition of I-Link were placed in escrow to be released as follows: 1. 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock are to be released upon the receipt of proceeds greater than or equal to $4,000,000 from the sale of the Company's securities pursuant to the conduct of one or more private or public offerings prior to December 31, 1996; and 2. 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock are to be released upon the first to occur of the following: (i) the monthly revenue derived from subscribers serviced by I-Link and revenue derived from the sale of related products and/or services equals or exceeds $1,000,000; or (ii) the number of subscribers serviced by I-Link exceeds 100,000 one year from the date of receipt by the Company of gross proceeds equal to $4,000,000 from the sale of its securities pursuant to one or more private or public offerings. I-Link provides Internet access services to individuals and businesses in the United States. I-Link is also the owner of a proprietary technology (patent pending) which enables the transmission of information via facsimile over the Internet. There was no affiliation or relationship between the Company, its affiliates, officers or directors, or associates of such persons and I-Link or ILINK, Ltd. or any of their officers, directors, stockholders, or partners prior to the acquisition. Note Offering. Simultaneous with the closing of its acquisition of I-Link, the Company completed a private placement of $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes (the "10% Notes"). The 10% Notes are payable upon the earlier of August 31, 1996 (subject to extension) or the Company's receipt of proceeds of at least $4,000,000 from subsequent debt or equity offerings. The 10% Notesbear interest payable semi-annually at the rate of 10% until August 31, 1996 (13% after such date of the term of the 10% Note is extended). Up to $1,250 of each $50,000 in principal amount of note is convertible at any time at the option of the holder, into a maximum of 350,000 shares of Common Stock at the rate of approximately $.0714 per share, subject to certain antidilution adjustments. 2 The 10% Notes may be extended until February 29, 1997 upon payment by the Company of 2.5% of the then outstanding principal balance of the 10% Note. The proceeds of such offering were used to pay outstanding accounts payable and other debts of I-Link. Network Services I-Link, the Company's newest subsidiary, provides Internet services to individuals and businesses in the United States. The Internet is a global network of more than six million individual private and public computer networks. The Internet links universities, government agencies, commercial entities, individuals and other computer users. The Internet was originally used predominantly by technology-oriented individuals. In recent years, the demand for access to the Internet has increased among small businesses and private individuals. The computer networks that comprise the Internet communicate through an open, non-proprietary communications protocol known as "TCP/IP," which determines addressing mechanisms and the routing of information. The Internet's networks are connected in a variety of ways, including regular telephone lines, high-speed dedicated leased lines, and fiber optic links. The focus of the Company's business has shifted as a result of the Company's acquisition of I-Link. I-Link provides Network Services and has developed a proprietary technology which permits connection of non TCP/IP devices such as facsimile ("fax") telephone to the Internet. The technology (patent pending) is a comprehensive method which permits communication without any special hardware or software. I-Link offers subscribers a complete Internet access solution comprised of software, licensed from companies such as Spyglass, Inc. ("Spyglass"), integrated with high quality access network services provided by AT&T. The Company is currently working to provide its technical support on a 24-hour a day basis. I-Link's network provides subscribers with direct access to a wide range of Internet-related resources including E-Mail, World Wide Web sites, USENET news groups and other database information. I-Link has established and operates a high-speed interconnected network of nodes or points of presence ("POPs"). The POPs have banks of modems into which users dial to connect to the Internet. Multiple POPs are used to provide local access to the modems. I-Link currently has 22 POPs (five of which are currently in operation and 17 of which are ready for operation) in major cities throughout the United States. I-Link's operating POPs are located in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston and New Orleans; the other 17 POPs are located in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix, Atlanta, Orlando, Boston, New York and Washington, D.C. POPs allow subscribers to access the Internet via I-Link's computers for the price of a local telephone call. I-Link's nationwide telecommunications network is connected to leased high speed datalines which tie into the worldwide network of Internet users. I-Link intends to expand to 60 POPs in the United States and Canada by the end of calendar 1996 and intends to establish additional POPs internationally. Generally, each POP requires a capital expenditure between $10,000 and $25,000. Consequently, I-Link's ability to expand will be dependent largely on the availability of additional capital, of which there can be no assurance. Fax4Less. I-Link has developed a proprietary technology (patent pending) known as Fax4Less which enables the transmission of information via facsimile (a "fax") over the Internet. The technology is a comprehensive method which permits communication between non-TCP/IP (i.e., non-Internet compatible) devices. The originator of a fax via Fax4Less does not need any special hardware or software and the recipient of such a fax does not have to be an I-Link subscriber. The technology developed by I-Link enables the transmission of a facsimile message via the Internet through a series of local telephone calls, thus eliminating the long distance telephone charges normally applicable to facsimile transmissions. In addition, Fax4Less enables an E-Mail message to be sent to a recipient over the Internet. The central component of the Fax4Less network is a "Fax Engine" which is reached by a local telephone call; once reached, the Fax Engine delivers a fax to the recipient through a second local telephone call. In the event that a geographic location or area is not reachable by a local Fax Engine, a facsimile may be sent using a long distance provider with whom I-Link has contracted, which generally provides the requisite long distance service at a less expensive rate than otherwise available to a user (permitting the user the benefits of I-Link's high-volume discount). The Fax4Less service provides a wide range of additional options. Fax-Mail enables a subscriber to receive, store and even reroute facsimile messages to any facsimile machine and modem or to E-Mail. The Virtual Fax Machine technology enables a subscriber to create a "virtual facsimile machine" in a location separate and apart from the subscriber's physical location. For 3 example, a subscriber may have a local phone number in Los Angeles, California and could physically receive facsimile information in New York. Fax4Less' fax broadcast service enables a subscriber to send a single fax to many recipients in various destinations simultaneously. I-Link expects to begin offering the service within the next few months and to charge a fixed monthly fee of $89 for Fax4Less service. I-Link is in the process of applying for United States patent protection relating to Fax4Less. There can be no assurance that a patent will be forthcoming. Local Access. To provide Internet access, it is only necessary to provide a modem into which subscriber may call (with associated Internet connection equipment and facilities). Therefore, one POP may service the entire country or the world. However, all subscribers outside of the local area of such POP would incur long distance phone charges when they call the POP. Such customers' long distance costs would, in most cases, vastly exceed the Internet service provider's charges to the customer for Internet access. While several companies promote this form of Internet access, I-Link believes such providers will not be able to compete with locally provided service. Locally provided service results when the Internet service provider establishes a POP in a subscriber's local area. I-Link provides access through local POPs. Subscribers in close proximity to a local POP do not incur long distance phone charges which management believes to be a significant benefit of I-Link's service. The provision of local service nationally requires the construction of many POPs across the country, consequently, I-Link is in the process of establishing such a nationwide network of local POPs. Internet Growth. Use of the Internet has grown rapidly since the commercialization of the Internet in the early 1990s. According to a report entitled "Market Opportunities in the Era of Internet Commercialization" prepared by the International Data Corporation in February 1994 (the "IDC Report"), there were approximately 22 million Internet users as of the end of 1993, with a projected increase to approximately 38 million users by the end of 1994. The rapid growth in popularity of the Internet is in large part due to: (i) increased presence of computers and modems in households and businesses throughout the United States; (ii) the growth of informational, entertainment and commercial applications and resources of the Internet; (iii) increased exposure and awareness of the resources of the Internet among individuals and businesses; and (iv) the increasing availability of user-friendly navigational and utility tools which enable easy access to the Internet's resources. Internet Service and Software Providers. With the growth and increasing commercialization of the Internet, a number of companies have emerged to provide Internet software and access services. Access providers vary widely in the geographic coverage, customer focus and levels of Internet access provided to subscribers. For example, many access providers are regional in scope, requiring subscribers outside a local or regional calling area to incur long distance charges. Access providers may also concentrate on certain types of subscribers such as businesses or individuals which differ substantially in the type of service and support required. Providers may also differ according to whether they provide direct or non- direct access to the Internet. Direct access through Internet protocols such as Serial Line Interface Protocol (or "SLIP") or Point-to-Point Protocol (or "PPP") enable users to establish direct connections to other computers on the Internet. I-Link provides direct access. A number of the major on-line service providers, such as AOL and Prodigy, currently offer non-direct access to the Internet which requires users to access the Internet through a host computer controlled by the service provider. Under this type of architecture, users are dependent on the service provider to determine which Internet applications are available to them. Other regional and national Internet access providers generally offer direct Internet access to customers which enables users to access the full range of Internet resources. A number of companies have also emerged to provide access software for the Internet. Access software generally utilizes standard communication protocols such as TCP/IP, which enable the user's computer to communicate with other computers on the Internet. These software packages are generally sold as stand-alone software packages to individual users and must be configured by the user for use with specific access services. This configuration process is often difficult and complex, especially for less sophisticated users. Finally, new browsers and navigational tools have been introduced which do not include TCP/IP software and must be used in conjunction with access software, thus complicating further users' ability to install and configure Internet software and access services. 4 In addition to issues of software and service integration, other problems remain which deter individual users from adopting Internet software and services. For example, until recently, the absence of easy-to-use navigational tools meant that use of the Internet was effectively limited to the small number of potential users who were familiar and comfortable with UNIX operating systems. UNIX is a powerful yet cryptic engineering-oriented operating system integrally responsible for the development of TCP/IP and the Internet. Furthermore, high prices charged by many Internet service providers have also deterred users. Nationwide, reliable service and 24-hour-a-day customer service support have not always been available to subscribers, in particular because many access providers are small regional companies with limited resources. Business Strategy. I-Link's objective has been to capitalize on the growing demand for Internet services and to gain market share by aggressively building its subscriber base. I-Link has pursued the idea that by expanding its subscriber base through providing high quality software and services it can build a nationwide brand identity, increase customer loyalty and achieve higher retention rates. I-Link has been primarily focused on providing access services to the individual subscriber market (such as home users and independent professionals) and small business users. Management believes that individual and small business users are among the fastest growing segments of the Internet market. In the past, individual and small business users have had difficulty accessing the Internet because of the difficulty in integrating software packages and services from different vendors. I-Link's strategy is to establish a high- quality, nationwide brand identity in this market through offering a complete Internet solution comprised of easy-to-use software, integrated with high quality access service and customer service support, which I-Link is working to provide on a 24 hour a day basis. I-Link has adopted a flat rate pricing structure which it believes encourages usage by eliminating subscribers' concerns about incurring significant hourly charges, which has the potential to increase subscriber retention rates. Currently, I-Link charges $17.95 per month for unlimited hours of service. It has been I-Link's belief that its value price point will help attract new subscribers and facilitate rapid penetration of the individual subscriber market. Assuming that adequate capital can be raised, I-Link plans to aggressively expand its high-speed, digital network and expand to 60 POPs by the end of calendar 1996, including expansion into Canada. It has been I-Link's belief that expansion is necessary to build the subscriber base and to promote nationwide brand name recognition. I-Link Software. I-Link's navigation software suite for Internet access includes: (i) an installer; (ii) TCP/IP and PPP, the software used by computers on the Internet to establish and maintain communication between themselves; (iii) an easy to use, on-line registration form; (iv) I-Mail, a proprietary e-mail package ("I-Mail"); and (v) Enhanced I-Link Mosaic, which is licensed from Spyglass ("Mosaic"). It is intended that I-Link's next release of software will incorporate RSA Data Security encryption, allowing privacy and data security. The on-line registration portion of the software allows the subscriber to download a current list of I-Link's local, Internet-access phone numbers. This feature prevents the software from going "stale" on the shelf as additional local POPs are added to I-Link's existing POPs. The registration software also allows the subscriber to customize its billing method on-line. For example, a subscriber can modify credit card or checking account billing or choose one of I-Link's pre-payment discount plans. Services. I-Link currently provides a variety of competitively priced Internet access services in two categories. The Company's primary focus is on individuals who connect to the Internet via a modem (referred to as "dial-up" accounts). Dial-up subscribers can access the Internet by calling I-Link's local POPs or a low-cost, nationwide telephone number. I-Link also offers network accounts (principally for business users who desire to connect internal computer networks to the Internet) that connect to the Internet via dedicated telecommunications lines. I-Link bills its subscribers monthly. Subscriber Applications. In addition to Fax4Less, I-Link provides its subscribers with access to the full range of available Internet applications, including: Electronic Mail (E-Mail): E-Mail is an Internet application by which an Internet user can exchange messages with any other user who has an E-Mail address. Messages can be sent almost instantly to designated individuals or groups on a mailing list. I-Link has developed its own proprietary E-Mail package called I-Mail. 5 World Wide Web: The World Wide Web is a browsing and searching system comprised of thousands of computer servers, referred to as home pages, each linked by a special communications protocol called Hypertext. This open protocol allows Internet users to view and access text, graphics, video and audio resident on a home page or to connect instantaneously to related and linked information on the same server or other home pages. Since the Internet is an open system, any company can create a home page on the World Wide Web in order to provide users with product or service information. Users can then solicit more information and, in some cases, make purchases electronically. It is expected that the World Wide Web will continue to grow rapidly as more businesses and individuals become aware of the advantages of communications on the Internet. USENET News Groups: USENET is a network of thousands of computers attached to the Internet that provide forums, or news groups, that allow users to exchange information on a variety of topics of shared interest. Internet users can seek or provide information on diverse topics ranging from sports or other hobbies, to job opportunities, to restaurant and travel suggestions. File Transfer: The Internet can be easily used to move electronic files (including data, programs or text) from one computer to another. This can be very useful for parties that collaborate on data files where the parties are separated by great distances. Unlike a transmission via a fax machine, data transferred over the Internet remains in digital format and does not need to be re-entered by a receiving party. It can be manipulated and then re-transmitted to other Internet users. Software and Services Development: I-Link has placed significant emphasis on developing advanced features for its core enabling technologies. As new technological developments occur in the Internet industry, it will become necessary to develop additional features to I-Link's service offerings that provide added value to its subscribers. Network Infrastructure. I-Link maintains an extensive network infrastructure that enables it to provide nationwide digital Internet access services to its subscribers. Such infrastructure provides significant performance capability and low operating cost. I-Link uses high performance RISC based computers. RISC computers are significantly faster than PCs and are used in demanding applications. I-Link's expanding network of POPs gives subscribers access to the Internet by means of a local telephone call. I-Link's ability to offer efficient access to the Internet is due in part to the Company's high-capacity telecommunications data network configured for facilitating Internet access. I-Link closely monitors data traffic on its network, and has planned to expand the capacity of its network by the addition of POPs and expansion of POPs at existing locations as demand rises. POPs are monitored by a network operator. Disaster recovery is a key part of I-Link's network infrastructure. In the event of a disaster at a network hub, all traffic can be rerouted to an alternate hub for instant recovery. I-Link's network is scalable and distributed from the high speed RISC architecture to the transaction-oriented database for managing all facets of the business. All aspects of I-Link's server technology (including on-line user registration, time management, billing information, network authentication and many other aspects) were designed to handle many users in an easily expandable (or scalable) fashion. I-Link's fiber optic network backbone is composed of high speed frame links and Asynchronous Transfer Mode ("ATM") links, capable of transmitting data up to 20 gigabytes per second. I-Link's fiber optic network backbone is joined directly to the Internet backbone, the National Science Foundation Network ("NSFNET") Network Access Point ("NAP"), permitting high speeds, supplying rapid adaptation to traffic growth, creating efficiency and providing dependability. With AT&T as the supplier of the backbone's fiber, I-Link has been able to benefit from AT&T's Synchronous Optical Network ("SONET") technology, which is a high speed redundant fiber optic networking technology which increases network reliability. I-Link maintains a network operations center at its Austin, Texas facility. Through this center, I-Link's technical staff constantly monitors network utilization and security, including equipment at individual POPs to ensure reliable Internet access service. The center also supports E-Mail and USENET news groups for I-Link's subscribers. 6 I-Link has continued to optimize and increase the capacity and capabilities of its network. I-Link has efforts currently underway to increase the data capacity, speed, reliability and fault tolerance of its network. Network system software is continually enhanced to increase the security of I-Link's network and to enhance trouble shooting capability. I-Link has also developed and acquired network management software that allows I-Link to monitor network traffic and service quality. Competition. The market for Internet access services is extremely competitive. Given that there are no substantial barriers to entry, it is likely that competition in this market will intensify in the future. I-Link's current and prospective competitors include many large companies that have substantially greater market presence and financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company. I-Link competes or expects to compete directly or indirectly with the following categories of companies: (i) other national and regional commercial Internet service providers, such as Performance Systems International ("PSI"), Bolt, Beranek & Newman, Inc. ("BBN") and UUNET Technologies ("UUNET"); (ii) established on-line services companies which currently offer or are expected to offer Internet access, such as America Online, Inc. ("AOL"), Compuserve Incorporated ("CompuServe") (a division of H&R Block, Inc.), Prodigy Services Company ("Prodigy") (a joint venture of International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") and Sear, Roebuck and Co.), GEnie ("GEnie") (a division of General Electric Information Services) and Delphi Internet Services ("Delphi") (a division of News Corporation); (iii) computer hardware and software and other technology companies, such as IBM and Microsoft; (iv) national long distance carriers, such as AT&T Corporation ("AT&T"), MCI Communications Corporation ("MCI") and Sprint Corporation ("Sprint") that currently offer electronic messaging services; (v) regional telephone companies such as Pacific Bell; (vi) cable operators, such as Tele- Communications, Inc.; and (vii) nonprofit or educational Internet service providers. Although most of the established on-line service companies and tele- communications companies currently offer only limited Internet access, many of these services have announced plans to offer expanded Internet access. The Company expects that all of the major on-line services companies will eventually compete fully in the Internet access market. Certain companies, including AOL, BBN and PSI, have obtained or expanded their Internet access products and services as a result of acquisitions. In addition, the Company believes that new competitors, including large computer hardware and software media and telecommunications companies, such as the regional telephone companies, will enter the Internet access market, resulting in even greater competition for I-Link. The ability of these competitors or others to bundle services and products with Internet services could place the Company, assuming completion of the I-Link Acquisition, at a significant competitive disadvantage. Increased competition, price or otherwise, could result in erosion of the Company's market share and may require price reductions and increased spending on marketing and product development. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and operating results. Marketing and Distribution. I-Link's primary focus has been on providing Internet services to individuals and small to medium-sized businesses on a national level. I-Link's current strategy is to sell its service by providing easy to use (user-friendly) software, providing a high power, high speed network and by providing its software at low price points. The Company's goal is to expand the channels of distribution for its software in order to facilitate rapid growth of its subscriber base. I-Link's distribution channels include the following: retail channels, bundling with hardware or software original equipment manufacturers ("OEMS") and direct mail. In addition, I-Link is able to use its own network to sell and distribute software products to existing customers. It is the Company's intention to continue to develop and market I-Link's services and products consistent with I-Link's current strategy. In addition, the Company will seek to establish relationships with computer equipment and modem manufacturers to promote and distribute its products and services. Management hopes that this will create new distribution channels to customers and enable wholesale distribution as well. I-Link recently reached an agreement with the national supercenter chains CompUSA and Computer City to provide its Internet navigation software and network access together in a retail package. I-Link's software is also currently available in Egghead Software Stores, Bookstop, Micro Center, and other retail outlets in the Southwestern region of the United States. The Company intends to continue to develop retail outlets as a primary software distribution method. Management believes that combining software and access together in a retail package is a very effective distribution technique. 7 I-Link has been actively pursuing OEM relationships with modem and other hardware manufacturers to include or "bundle" I-Link's software suite with their products. I-Link has recently signed an agreement with Jamsa Press pursuant to which I-Link's software suite will be included on CD that is inserted in the most recent printing of The World Wide Web Directory. Subscriber Support. I-Link is currently working to provide network monitoring and subscriber assistance services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Most support personnel respond to telephone inquiries, although a number of staff are dedicated to also responding to E-Mail inquires. There can be no assurance that I-Link's subscriber support resources will be sufficient to manage the planned expansion of the subscriber base. I-Link is taking steps to help ensure that subscriber support resources are matched with projected increases in subscribers. Failure to adequately match subscriber support resources to projected increases in subscribers could adversely affect I-Link's business. Radiological Diagnostic Services The majority of the Company's revenue in 1995 and 1994 was derived from owning and operating outpatient diagnostic imaging facilities in Florida. This revenue was primarily generated from two subsidiaries operating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilities. On November 30, 1990, the Company closed on its limited partnership offering of Medcross Imaging, Ltd. ("Partnership"). The Partnership was formed for the purpose of purchasing a Philips T-5 MRI mounted in a mobile van to provide services to health care facilities on the southwest coast of Florida. The Partnership commenced operations in February 1991. During May and June 1992, in a series of individual transactions, the Company acquired an additional 26.75% ownership interest in Medcross Imaging, Ltd. Prior to the acquisitions, the Company had a 41.5% ownership interest. The Company increased its ownership of Medcross Imaging, Ltd. to 80.75% on October 1, 1993 and 81.75% on October 1, 1994. The Partnership significantly upgraded the MRI to state-of-the-art performance in August 1993 at a cost of over $250,000. The upgraded machine can now produce better images in less time, thereby increasing the profit potential of the mobile unit. In June 1993, the Company purchased Waters Edge Scanning Associates, Ltd., renamed "Tampa MRI" after the acquisition. Serving the Tampa, Florida market, the acquisition of this facility was consistent with Medcross' "cluster" approach of operating multiple MRI's in a single market or adjacent markets. After the acquisition was complete, this MRI was upgraded for higher efficiency and better images and the facility was remodeled. In October 1994, the Company closed on the acquisition of a 75% ownership interest in Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay (UUSTB) from Urology Ultrasound, Inc. Prior to the acquisition, the Company owned the other 25% ownership interest in UUSTB. The total consideration given for the 75% partnership interest was $168,162. The purchase price was determined by arms length negotiation and was paid in cash at closing. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. UUSTB was organized on September 9, 1987 and is in the business of providing mobile ultrasound services to urologic patients in west central Florida. When the Company acquired the 75% partnership interest in UUSTB from Urology Ultrasound, Inc., the partnership ceased to exist. The Company immediately transferred all assets and liabilities of the partnership, except cash of $115,603, to Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, formed for the purpose of this acquisition. Prior to the acquisition, the Company recorded its share of income and loss on its 25% ownership interest in UUSTB using the equity method. On May 1, 1995, the Company transferred all of the assets and certain liabilities of Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay, Inc. to Tampa MRI. Regulatory and Legislative Developments. The Company's businesses are subject to federal law and various federal and state regulations. While the Company believes that its operations comply with applicable regulations, the Company has not sought or received interpretive rulings to that effect. Additionally, there can be no assurance that subsequent laws, subsequent changes in present laws or interpretations of laws will not adversely affect the Company's operations. 8 During the past several years, there has been increasing pressure from federal and state regulatory and legislative bodies to prevent physicians from referring patients to diagnostic imaging facilities in which they have an ownership interest. Many prominent physicians, legislators, medical ethicists, and others feel that ownership of imaging facilities can impair a physician's judgement about the need for a diagnostic test. Studies have shown that physicians who have an ownership interest in imaging facilities tend to refer more patients for diagnostic testing than physicians who have no ownership interest. On the federal level, a physician self referral bill, introduced by Representative Fortney "Pete" Stark, passed Congress and was signed by President Clinton in 1993. The bill bans physicians from referring Medicare patients to imaging and almost any other type of diagnostic or therapeutic outpatient medical facility in which they have an ownership or financial interest, effective January 1, 1995. Many states, including Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, and New Jersey, have passed laws regarding physician self referral. Some simply require disclosure of ownership, while others restrict physicians from referring to facilities in which they have an ownership interest. The Florida legislature enacted the Patient Self-Referral Act of 1992, effective April 8, 1992. This Act prohibits physician self-referral to health care entities in which such physicians have a financial interest, effective October 1, 1994. Management believes these legislative and regulatory actions should have no material adverse effect upon the Company's existing operations. However, the Self-Referral Act also imposed a fee cap, effective July 1, 1992, limiting the technical and professional fees of all providers of "clinical laboratory services, physical therapy services, comprehensive rehabilitative services, diagnostic imaging services, and radiation therapy services" to no more than 115% of the Medicare limiting charge for non-participating physicians. The statute specifically excludes hospitals and physician group practices from the fee cap provision and does not apply to patients eligible for Medicaid or Medicare reimbursement. Most of the Company's MRI and ultrasound operations in Florida, as currently operated, would be subject to the fee cap provision and would be severely impacted if the fee cap provision is enforced inasmuch as 37% of the Company's revenue in 1995 was generated from such services. Several lawsuits have been filed by various providers against the State of Florida in both federal and state court alleging, among other things, that the fee cap provision violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution and seeking to enjoin the state from enforcing the fee cap provision. In July 1992, the United States District Court for Northern District of Florida granted a permanent injunction in a case entitled Panama City Medical Center, Ltd., et.al. vs. Robert B. Williams, et.al. (File No. 92-40198-WS). The State of Florida appealed the decision granting the federal court injunction and, on February 15, 1994, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit reversed the decision of the lower court, finding that the fee cap provision did not violate the Equal Protection Clause and ruling that the entry of the injunction was in error. A motion for rehearing filed in the action has been denied and a petition has been filed seeking appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. On June 30, 1992 the Florida Circuit Court, Second Judicial Circuit, enjoined the State of Florida from enforcing the fee cap provision. The Company intervened as a party plaintiff in the state court action. An injunction has been obtained preventing the State of Florida from enforcing the fee cap. The State of Florida is seeking a review of that injunction on appeal. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings". The ultrasound services provided by the Company are related specifically to urology. Approximately 80% of the Company's patients are covered by Medicare. Therefore, changes in Medicare reimbursement rules and regulations may have a significant impact on the profitability of the Company's ultrasound operations. Reimbursement rates for procedures are set annually. The 1996 reimbursement rates for the procedures primarily performed by the Company were increased from between 1.7% to 2.1% over 1995's reimbursement rates. On March 20, 1995, the Florida Medicare Part B carrier issued a Final Local Medical Review Policy regarding procedures that can be billed by independent physiological laboratories (IPL), the classification of the Company's ultrasound operations. These changes do not allow the IPL's to receive reimbursement from Medicare for the procedures performed by the Company after April 30, 1995. On May 1, 1995, the Company transferred its ultrasound operations to Tampa MRI. Health Care Industry Competition. It is common for hospitals, physicians, physician groups, and others in the health care field to form ventures to own and operate medical equipment. The Company is in competition with such groups. There are many companies offering general business consulting services. The companies that may compete with the Company in the future and that currently offer consulting services may be larger and have far greater financial resources than the Company. Also, if the cost of a particular medical device 9 is reduced and the utilization by physicians increases, more hospitals will be able to afford to acquire their own equipment rather than receive service on a shared basis. Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI is a multi-billion dollar industry that has rapidly gained acceptance by physicians throughout the nation. MRI is the imaging modality of choice for soft tissue in the head, neck, and spine. Over 3,000 MRI units have been installed in hospitals, outpatient diagnostic imaging centers, physicians' offices, and in mobile vehicles. Over 7 million MRI procedures were performed in the U.S. in 1991. At an estimated average of $900 per procedure, the MRI market in the United States generates over $6 billion annually. New uses for MRI are continually being developed. MRI is being used to a greater degree than ever before to scan shoulders, knees, ankles, elbows, breasts, and even the cardiac system. Technological improvements should soon enable MRI to be used effectively in imaging the chest and abdominal areas. The revenue from MRI services accounted for 70% and 71% of total revenue of the Company in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Contracts with two hospitals that accounted for 40% and 46% of the revenue from MRI services in 1995 and 1994 respectively, were due to expire on February 28, 1996. On December 5, 1995, the Company renewed the contracts with the two hospitals effective October 1, 1995. The agreements are substantially similar to the prior arrangements except with respect to a change in the minimum arrangement and a reduction in per patient charges. These contracts expire on February 28, 1997. Many of the MRI systems placed into operation in the market area of the Company's existing MRI centers were purchased and operated by physicians. For some physicians, it was the only way to gain access to this expensive technology. For others, it was an opportunity to invest in a technology that they use to help diagnose their patients' medical problems. The Company competes for patient referrals from physicians with the other MRI centers located in its immediate market area. Because physicians can no longer refer to entities in which they have an ownership interest, the physicians have no financial predisposition to refer to a given center. The Company's ability to obtain referrals will be based upon the quality of its service and its ability to obtain contracts to treat managed care patients. Two new MRI centers have recently begun operations in the market area of Medcross Imaging, Ltd., which has reduced the number of procedures performed by Medcross Imaging, Ltd. and has had a negative impact on revenue. In January 1996, the two hospitals to which Medcross Imaging, Ltd. provides service recently obtained a major managed care contract which management believes will significantly increase the number of patients treated at those two facilities. Tampa MRI has obtained several managed care contracts during 1995. While this has reduced the average per patient charges, it has increased the number of patients treated. The Company has not ruled out expanding its ownership and operation of MRI facilities. However, the Company has not allocated any personnel or financial resources to the start up or acquisition of additional radiological diagnostic imaging services. Ultrasound. The Company's consolidated revenue did not reflect revenue from ultrasound services until the fourth quarter of 1994. Prior to that time, the Company's ultrasound operations were performed by a joint venture in which the Company had a 25% ownership interest . Income from the joint venture was reported on the equity method. Effective October 1, 1994, the Company purchased the other 75% ownership interest in the joint venture, which was primarily owned by the physicians receiving services from the joint venture. On May 1, 1995, the Company transferred all of its ultrasound operations to Tampa MRI. The ultrasound services are provided at each physician's office under the physician's direction. The Company is not looking to expand its operations outside of the current market area. There are two main competitors in the Company's market area. Management believes that it will maintain its contracts with the physicians offices and may even add additional physician offices through its marketing efforts. Therapeutic Services In the late 1980's, the Company was one of the industry leaders, providing mobile kidney lithotripsy service throughout the southeastern United States. The Company put the world's first mobile kidney lithotripter into operation in 1986. During the next two years, the Company developed four additional mobile kidney lithotripsy networks. In 1986, the Company coordinated the development of one of the leading outpatient lithotripsy centers in the nation. That center, located in St. Petersburg, Florida, was owned by over 100 urologists and continues to provide treatments for over 1,500 patients per year. In 1992, 65% of the ownership in the facility was sold to CORAM, a publicly held corporation. In 1994, upon renewal, the Company's responsibilities under the 10 Management Agreement were reduced to providing financial services. The annual revenue from this management contract was also reduced from an average of approximately $180,000 to $47,100 per year. In 1995, the remaining 35% of the ownership in the facility was sold to CORAM. In August 1995, the Management Agreement was terminated. The Company has management agreements with three other owners of mobile kidney lithotripters that operate in seven different states. The Company provides turn-key operations, management, and financial services under its agreements with the owning entities. The Company also provides the trained technicians who operate the lithotripters and, when requested, the drivers who transport the equipment between the using facilities. The Company does not expect any expansion or new development efforts in the lithotripsy area. The Company had a 7-1/2% ownership interest in International Prostate Partners, formed in 1992. International Prostate Center - Cayman, Ltd., a wholly owned Cayman Island subsidiary of International Prostate Partners, provided trans- urethral microwave therapy (TUMT) services in Georgetown, Grand Cayman, for patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). The manufacturer is in the process of obtaining approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to sell the technology in the U.S. The Company contracted to provide a full range of management services, beginning in 1993, to International Prostate Partners and International Prostate Center - Cayman, Ltd. Operations began in January 1994. The patient case load was insufficient to support operating expenditures. Therefore, the operations were closed down and the equipment put in storage pending FDA approval. In August 1, 1995, the Company sold its interest in the partnership and its Management Agreement was terminated. The initial patient studies have been completed and the information has been submitted to the FDA as part of the manufacturer's application for Pre-Market Approval (PMA). If approved by the FDA, the Company plans to be involved in providing TUMT services in the United States. The Company has proposed this technology to its existing lithotripsy clients, however, any decisions to be made are pending FDA approval. No assurance can be given by the Company as to when, or if, FDA approval will be received. Foreign Sales and Service of Diagnostic Imaging Equipment In January 1993, the Company formed Medcross Asia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary headquartered in Hong Kong. This subsidiary was formed to identify opportunities for the Company to enter the medical field in the Far East. The Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of the Company have extensive experience in manufacturing, trading, investment banking, and real estate in Hong Kong, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, and Japan. China is a rapidly expanding market just beginning to be tapped by western companies, especially in the area of medical equipment. Medcross, Inc. is one of the few companies, and by far the smallest company, seeking to export computerized tomography (CT) equipment to the area. The Company's competitors include the original equipment manufacturers such as Picker International, General Electric, Siemens, Toshiba, Hitachi, Elscint, and Shimadzu. In addition, several companies specializing in the sale and refurbishment of used CT equipment have entered the China market. These companies include Link Equipment Services International, Ltd., Medical Science and Technology International, Inc., Access International, Inc., AJK, Inc., Makers International, Inc., and U.S. Pacific International Medical Equipment Company, Ltd. China's hospitals and clinics are in need of virtually every type of medical imaging equipment, and even outdated American technology is in high demand. On January 7, 1994, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with China National Medical Equipment and Supplies Import & Export Shenyang Corporation (CNMC). The joint venture company, Shenyang Medcross Huamei Medical Equipment Company, Ltd. (SMHME) is located in the People's Republic of China. SMHME is 51% owned by the Company and 49% owned by CNMC. SMHME imports used and refurbished CT scanners for resale to hospitals in the province of Shenyang. SMHME also provides warranty service, including parts and labor, for the machines it sells and intends to provide warranty service for other machines already existing in the province. The Company's responsibilities include locating, purchasing, refurbishing, and shipping used medical equipment to SMHME. CNMC was required to contribute $380,000 in cash to SMHME of which $260,417 has been contributed. Medcross contributed CT scanner equipment and parts with an agreed upon value of $390,000 and a cost basis of $251,972 to SMHME. The Company opened an office in Beijing to sell and service used CT scanning equipment in the People's Republic of China outside the province of Shenyang. In May 1995, the Company closed its Beijing office and is actively pursuing the sale of such operations. 11 Item 2. Description of Property. The Company currently leases approximately 3,400 square feet for its corporate offices located at 3227 Bennet Street North, St. Petersburg, Florida on a month-to-month basis. The Company leases approximately 3,600 square feet for its outpatient MRI center located in Tampa, Florida under two leases. The lease for the business office expires July 31, 1996 and the Company has a one year renewal option. The lease for the medical facility expires May 31, 1998. The Company has the option to extend the medical facility lease an additional two years. I-Link leases approximately 1,500 square feet of space, which space houses its corporate offices in Austin, Texas. Such lease has a term of three years, which is scheduled to expire on November 30, 1997 but which I-Link is negotiating to terminate. Pursuant to the terms of such lease, I-Link pays rent on a monthly basis of $1,740. I-Link has recently entered into a ten- month lease for 5,000 square feet of space in Austin, Texas, which will house its corporate offices. Pursuant to such lease, I-Link will pay rent of $5,000 per month. I-Link also leases several other spaces to house its POPs through- out the United States. Such spaces vary in size and are rented on a month-to- month basis. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. The Florida legislature enacted the Patient Self-Referral Act of 1992, effective April 8, 1992. The Self-Referral Act imposed a fee cap, effective July 1, 1992, limiting the technical and professional fees of all providers of "clinical laboratory services, physical therapy services, comprehensive rehabilitative services, diagnostic imaging services, and radiation therapy services" to no more than 115% of the Medicare limiting charge for non- participating physicians. The statute specifically excludes hospitals and physician group practices from the fee cap provision and does not apply to patients eligible for Medicaid or Medicare reimbursement. On June 30, 1992 in an action brought in the Florida Circuit Court, Second Judicial Circuit, in and for Leon County, entitled Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Center of Coral Springs, Inc., et.al. vs. State of Florida, et.al. (File Nos. 92-2736, 92-2751, 92-2785, and 92-2879) the Circuit Court enjoined the State of Florida from enforcing such fee cap provision. On June 24, 1994, the Company intervened as a party plaintiff in such state court action in accordance with an order entered on June 16, 1994. On July 7, 1994, the Circuit Court granted a motion for Summary Judgement filed by the plaintiffs (including the Company), ruling that the fee cap provision was un- constitutional insofar as it related to the business of the Company, due to a defect in the title of the bill that contains the fee cap provision. The Attorney General of the State of Florida filed an appeal to the June 16 and July 7 Circuit Court rulings. On November 1, 1994 the appeal court, namely, the District Court of Appeals, First District, on its own motion, quashed the July 7 order for lack of jurisdiction because the appeal of the June 16 order was still pending. An injunction has been obtained preventing the State of Florida from enforcing the fee cap. The State of Florida is seeking a review of that injunction on appeal. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any of such litigation or as to the enforceability of the fee cap provision. See "Item 1. Business -Regulatory and Legislative Developments". Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. The Company held its Annual Shareholders Meeting on October 17, 1995. Mr. Henry Toh and Mr. Joel Kanter were elected as Class II Directors at the meeting to serve for three years. Ms. Po Shin Wong and Dr. R. Huston Babcock, neither of whom are Class II Directors, were not up for election and their terms of office as Directors continued after the meeting. The Shareholders approved the adoption of the Medcross, Inc. 1995 Director's Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan, which provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and stock appreciation rights. The Preferred shareholders voted 192,500 shares in favor and none against. The common stock shareholders voted 141,381 shares in favor, 60,175 shares against, and 15,316 shares abstained.

Diagnostic Imaging. Net operating revenue from diagnostic imaging services decreased 10% in 1995 as compared to 1994. MRI revenue of Tampa MRI accounted for $116,575 of the decrease. This decrease is mainly related to an 8.7% decrease in the average revenue per procedure. Tampa MRI has been successful in obtaining several managed care contracts. Managed care contracts provide for fixed charges per patient, generally lower than the charges obtainable for other patients, which should be offset by an increase in the number of procedures performed. MRI revenue of Medcross Imaging, Ltd. decreased $367,101 in 1995 as compared to 1994. This decrease was caused by a decrease in the number of MRI procedures performed of 17% and a decrease in the average revenue per procedure of 8%. The decrease in the average revenue per procedure of Medcross Imaging, Ltd. is mainly due to the decrease of the per procedure charges to the hospital clients pursuant to service contracts placed into effect on October 1, 1995. These contracts extended the service period to the hospitals from February 29, 1996 to February 28, 1997. While the charge per procedure is reduced, each hospital must meet specific monthly minimum quotas. The decrease in the number of patients treated by Medcross Imaging, Ltd. was caused by increased competition in the area. A mobile MRI company began providing service to a local hospital in the first quarter of 1995. The hospital closed in June 1995 and the mobile company opened an MRI center in St. Petersburg, Florida which creates direct competition for Medcross Imaging, Ltd. The two client hospitals to which Medcross Imaging, Ltd. provides service, have recently obtained a large managed care contract. Management believes that this contract will increase the number of patients treated in 1996. The decreases of Tampa MRI and Medcross Imaging, Ltd. were offset by the inclusion of Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay, Inc. (UR) which was acquired and included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company effective October 1, 1994. On May 1, 1995, the Company transferred its ultrasound operations to Tampa MRI. The inclusion of the ultrasound operations resulted in an increase in diagnostic imaging revenue of $208,926 in 1995 as compared to 1994. The revenue from these operations, as a wholly owned subsidiary and a joint venture combined, declined 12% in 1995 as compared to 1994. This decline was due to a decrease in the average revenue per patient of 24%. This decrease was due to the direct billing by the physicians, to whom services are provided, of the professional portion of the procedures performed. In addition, guidelines issued by the American Medical Association have bundled two of the procedures, whereby in the event procedures are performed at the same time, reimbursement for only one of those procedures is made. Management believes that this will not have a material adverse effect on the operations of the ultrasound services. Net operating revenue from diagnostic imaging services increased 8% in the fourth quarter of 1995 as compared to third quarter of 1995. MRI revenue of Tampa MRI and the ultrasound operations increased 29% and 27%, respectively, while MRI revenue of Medcross Imaging, Ltd. decreased 16%. The increase in the revenue of Tampa MRI and ultrasound operations is due to an increase of the number of procedures performed of 31% and 20%, respectively. The decrease in net operating revenue of Medcross Imaging, Ltd. is due to a 26% decrease in average revenue per procedure, offset by a 14% increase in the number of procedures performed. This decrease in average revenue per procedure is due to the renegotiated contract prices to the hospitals that are serviced by Medcross Imaging, Ltd. The operating profit from diagnostic imaging services decreased 51% in 1995 as compared to 1994. This decrease included a decline in operating profit from MRI services of $376,759, slightly offset by the operating profit from ultrasound services of $38,334. Total operating expenses for diagnostic imaging services increased $63,675 in 1995 as compared to 1994. Operating expenses from ultrasound services increased $170,592 in 1995 as a result of only having three months of operations in 1994. This was offset by a decrease of $106,917 in total operating expenses for MRI services. The provision for doubtful accounts for diagnostic imaging services increased $61,202 in 1995 as compared to 1994. $16,211 of this increase was due to the inclusion of ultrasound services in 1995. 14 The operating profits from diagnostic imaging services increased from $21,339 in the third quarter of 1995 to $63,845 in the fourth quarter of 1995. Tampa MRI and the ultrasound operations showed increased operating profits of $25,132 and $13,954, respectively, while Medcross Imaging, Ltd. showed decreased operating profit of $23,238. The net increase in operating profit for diagnostic imaging services was due to an increase in number of procedures performed in the fourth quarter of 1995, offset by a decrease in the average revenue per procedure. During the past several years, there has been increasing pressure from federal and state regulatory and legislative bodies to prevent physicians from referring patients to diagnostic imaging facilities in which they have an ownership interest. Legislation passed in the state of Florida, where all of the Company's diagnostic imaging services operate, placed a fee cap on diagnostic imaging services. An injunction has been obtained preventing the State of Florida from enforcing the fee cap. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings". In addition, approximately 80% of the patients treated by the Company's ultrasound operations are Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare has issued final regulations eliminating reimbursement to independent physiological laboratories for the procedures the Company performs. This will have a significant effect on the Company's ultrasound operations. See "Item 1. Business - Regulatory and Legislative Developments". Foreign Sales and Service of Medical Equipment. The Company sells and services used and refurbished computerized tomography (CT) scanners in the People's Republic of China through its own office in Beijing and a joint venture company, Shenyang Medcross Huamei Medical Equipment Company, Ltd. (SMHME), of which it owns 51%. During the last four months of 1994, the Beijing office completed the installation of two CT scanners and SMHME completed the installation of one CT scanner. In the first quarter of 1995, the Company's Beijing office completed the installation of two additional CT scanners. On May 31, 1995, the Beijing office was closed and the responsibilities for the parts depot and the remaining inventory have been transferred to SMHME. Various issues have been raised by the purchasers in China regarding maintenance of scanners, parts depot, etc. The Company has received $125,000 in payments through December 31, 1995. However, the Company has elected to fully reserve for all amounts due to the Beijing office for the four scanners installed. This resulted of an expense of $126,910 in 1995 and $188,842 in 1994 and an allowance for doubtful accounts of $315,753 as of December 31, 1995. In June 1995, the Company has written down one of the CT scanners in inventory to what management believes is fair market value. This resulted in $49,122 of additional cost of goods sold. The Company has decided to sell its Beijing operations, and has held discussions regarding the sale of the China operations. No assurance can be given regarding the outcome of such negotiations. Management and Other. Net operating revenue from management and other activities decreased by $209,096 in 1995 as compared to 1994. A significant portion of the decrease, $106,406 was related to the management contract with Bay Area Renal Stone Center (BARSC). This contract accounted for $133,881 in management fees in 1994 and $27,475 in management fees in 1995. In 1992 BARSC sold a 65% ownership interest in its operations to CORAM, a publicly held corporation. In August 1994, upon renewal of the Company's management contract, its responsibilities were reduced to providing financial services. In 1995, BARSC sold the remaining 35% ownership interest in its operations to CORAM. In August 1995, the Company's management contract with BARSC was terminated. UUSTB, the unconsolidated subsidiary, accounted for $81,222 of the decrease in 1995. These management fees were included in the consolidation because this partnership was recorded on an equity basis. In 1995, any management fees collected from UR were eliminated in consolidation. The management contract with International Prostate Partners accounted for $32,100 of the decrease. The patient case load of International Prostate Partners and its wholly owned foreign subsidiary was insufficient to support its operating expenditures. Therefore, in 1994, the operation was closed down and the equipment stored pending FDA approval of the technology. This resulted in the reduction of the Company's management fee revenue. In August 1994, upon the sale of the Company's interest in International Prostate Partners, the management contract was terminated. The annual management fee revenue based upon contracts currently in effect is $245,160. The net operating loss for management and other activities increased $34,522 in 1995 to $644,986. This increased loss is related to the reduced revenue described above offset by a decrease in corporate overhead expenses of $174,574. Salaries and benefits decreased $141,417 and other operating expenses decreased $28,156 in 1995 as compared to 1994. The operating loss from management and other activities decreased $138,519 in the fourth quarter of 1995 as compared to the third quarter of 1995. This fourth quarter decrease is due to a decrease in salaries and benefits of $22,389, a decrease in other operating expenses of $129,359, offset by a decrease in net operating revenue of $11,675. Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 1995 included consulting expenses that are not expected to recur in 1996. 15 Consolidated Operating Results. Net operating revenue of the Company decreased 17% in 1995 as compared to 1994. This was a result of decreased revenue of diagnostic imaging services, foreign operations, and management fee revenue. Cost of goods sold was entirely related to the sale and service of CT equipment in China. Salaries and benefits decreased by $130,459 in 1995 as compared to 1994. This decrease was in the area of management and other ($141,417) offset by an increase in salaries and benefits for diagnostic imaging services of $10,492. The decrease in repairs and maintenance expenses and depreciation and amortization was mainly related to diagnostic imaging services. The provision for doubtful accounts increased $61,202 for diagnostic imaging services, offset by a decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts for foreign operations of $61,932. Other operating expenses decreased $132,379, of which $126,173 was due to the reduction in expenses of the foreign operations. Net operating profit of the Company in the fourth quarter of 1995 was $111. This is an increase of $162,251 over the operating loss of $162,140 in the third quarter of 1995. This increase is due to increase in the operating profit of diagnostic imaging and management and other activities. Overall, net operating revenue increased 5% and total operating expenses decreased 17% in the fourth quarter of 1995 as compared to the third quarter of 1995. Management expects the increase in net operating revenue and the decrease in operating expenses to continue in the first quarter of 1996. The decrease in interest expense in 1995 as compared to 1994 was due to the reduction of the long term debt. The decline in interest income was related to reduced cash balances. The difference between the decrease from unconsolidated subsidiaries in 1995 and the loss from unconsolidated subsidiaries in 1994 is primarily attributable to a $71,250 write down in 1994 of the Company's cost basis investment in International Prostate Partners, which ceased operations in 1994, and to the recognition of a gain in 1995 from the sale of the Company's ownership interest in the same partnership. Liquidity and Capital Resources Working capital provided by operations during 1995 was $237,787, compared to $361,713 in 1994. The decrease in working capital provided by operating activities was $123,926 even though net loss was $163,525 less than the net loss recorded in 1994. The decline in working capital from operations was greater than the decline in net loss for several reasons. There was no cash flow received from unconsolidated subsidiaries in 1995 compared to distributions of $120,853 in 1994. Also, income from unconsolidated subsidiaries was $20,500 in 1995 while in 1994, the Company reported a loss from unconsolidated subsidiaries of $66,249. The working capital position of the Company at December 31, 1995 was $354,226, which excludes $669,799 of the current portion of long term debt which is payable in common stock of Medcross, Inc. At December 31, 1994, the working capital position of the company was $462,632. Cash flow provided by operating activities was $319,632 in 1995 compared to a deficit of $372,213 in 1994. The increase in cash flow from operations was mainly related to the decrease in cash expenditures for inventory of CT equipment for sale in China. Investing activities expenditures during 1995 related to the purchase of additional equipment for the Tampa MRI unit. Investing activities providing resources to the Company were related to the sale of medical equipment by Tampa MRI and the sale of an interest in an unconsolidated subsidiary. During 1995, the Company reduced its long term debt and capital lease obligations by $617,322 and the outstanding balance of its line of credit by $151,000. As of December 31, 1995 the balance outstanding under the line of credit was $400,000. The Company was in violation of loan covenants regarding cash balances, consolidated equity ratios, past days sales, and cash flow coverage ratios under the line of credit at December 31, 1995. The bank has waived these covenant violations through June 30, 1996. The Company has reached an agreement with First Union National Bank pursuant to which the Company has agreed to secure alternative financing to repay amounts outstanding under the line of credit by June 30, 1996. In the event that the Company is unable to secure such financing, the Company would be obligated to repay amounts outstanding under the line of credit in increments of $10,000 per month commencing on July 1, 1996, subject to negotiation of the terms of the balloon payment thereafter. The Company is presently negotiating terms of alternative financing, but there can be no assurance that such negotiations will be successful. 16 During the first quarter of 1995, the Company received advances totaling $218,000 from Mortgage Network International, payable on demand. The Company's Vice Chairman/President has management control over Mortgage Network International. The advances were subsequently formalized by the Company issuing a Promissory Note bearing interest at 1% over prime rate of Southwest Bank of Texas, N.A. with a maturity of October 1, 1995. Subsequent to October 1, 1995, the Company and Mortgage Network International modified the note such that: (i) a principal payment in the amount of $88,000 is due and payable on December 31, 1996; (ii) interest thereon is payable monthly at a rate of 10.5%; and (iii) the remaining principal amount of $130,000 with interest thereon at the rate of 10.5% will be paid in 36 equal monthly payments of $4,225.32. The effect of foreign currency translation on cash flow in 1994 was almost entirely related to the difference between the stipulated exchange rate and the joint venture agreement of SMHME and the actual exchange rate at the time the contributions were made. Concurrent with the Company's acquisition of the securities of I-Link in February 1996, the Company issued an aggregate of $1 million in 10% Notes and received net proceeds of approximately $845,000. The proceeds of such offering were used to pay operating expenses of I-Link and certain other indebtedness of I-Link. See "Recent Developments". The Company will require additional financing in order to successfully integrate the business of I-Link, to fund the cash flow operating deficit of I-Link, to expand its business, and to discharge outstanding indebtedness, including the 10% Notes, the Mortgage Network International advances, and the outstanding balance of the Company's line of credit with First Union National Bank. Although the Company is presently negotiating for alternative financing to repay First Union National Bank and Mortgage Network International, there can be no assurance such negotiations will be successful. Additional funding through one or more debt or equity offerings in the capital markets will be necessary to continue to implement the growth of the Company's business and expand its operations, including those of I-Link. The availability of such capital sources will depend on prevailing market conditions, interest rates, and financial position and results of operations of the Company. Therefore, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available or that the Company will not be required to issue significant debt or equity securities in order to obtain such financing.

The Company's executive committee (the "Executive Committee") is vested with all the powers of the Board of Directors, subject to the limitations set forth in the Florida Business Corporation Act. Ms. Wong is Chairperson of the Executive Committee and Messrs. Toh and Kanter are members of such committee. Executive Stock Option Plan The Company's 1989 Executive Stock Option Plan (the "ESOP"), which recently expired pursuant to its terms, authorized the grant of stock options to key employees of the Company including officers. Options granted under the ESOP were non-qualified stock options exercisable at a price per share not less than the highest bid price per share of the Common Stock as quoted on NASDAQ on the date an option is granted. Options granted under the ESOP are exercisable not less than one year nor more than five years after the grant date. As of February 29, 1996, options for the purchase of 8,505 shares of Common Stock at prices of $2.75 per share were outstanding. In connection with adoption of the 1995 Director Plan (as hereinafter defined), the Board of Directors recently authorized suspension of future grants of options under the ESOP; however, outstanding options granted under the ESOP will continue to be governed by the terms thereof until exercise or expiration of such options. Director Stock Option Plan The Company's Director Stock Option Plan (the "DSOP") authorizes the grant of stock options to directors of the Company. Options granted under the DSOP are non-qualified stock options exercisable at a price equal to the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of any such grant. Options granted under the DSOP are exercisable not less than six months nor more than ten years after the date of grant. As of February 29, 1996, options for the purchase of 24,564 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from $.875 to $3.875 per share were outstanding. To date, no options have been exercised. In connection with adoption of the 1995 Employee Plan (as hereinafter defined), the Board of Directors recently authorized the termination of future grants of options under the DSOP; however, outstanding options granted under the DSOP will continue to be governed by the terms thereof until exercise or expiration of such options. Stock Purchase Plan In accordance with the Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"), employees may contribute up to ten percent of their base wages toward the purchase of Common Stock. The exercise price of options granted under the Purchase Plan is the lesser of 85% of the market value on the first business day of the payment period (September 1) or the last business day of the payment period (August 31). As of February 29, 1996, the Company had 36,059 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance on exercise of the purchase rights granted under the Purchase Plan. 22 1995 Director Stock Option Plan In October 1995, the stockholders of the Company approved adoption of the Company's 1995 Director Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan, which plan provides for the issuance of incentive options, non-qualified options and stock appreciation rights (the "1995 Director Plan"). The 1995 Director Plan provides for automatic and discretionary grants of stock options which qualify as incentive stock options (the "Incentive Options") under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as well as options which do not so qualify (the "Non-Qualified Options") to be issued to directors. In addition, stock appreciation rights (the "SARs") may be granted in conjunction with the grant of Incentive Options and Non-Qualified Options. The 1995 Director Plan provides for the grant of Incentive Options, Non- Qualified Options and SARs to purchase up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events). To the extent that an Incentive Option or Non-Qualified Option is not exercised within the period of exercisability specified therein, it will expire as to the then unexercised portion. If any Incentive Option, Non- Qualified Option or SAR terminates prior to exercise thereof and during the duration of the 1995 Director Plan, the shares of Common Stock as to which such option or right was not exercised will become available under the 1995 Director Plan for the grant of additional options or rights to any eligible employee. The shares of Common Stock subject to the 1995 Director Plan may be made available from either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or both. The 1995 Director Plan also provides for the grant of Non-Qualified Options on a non-discretionary basis pursuant to the following formula: each member of the Board of Directors then serving shall receive a Non-Qualified Option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value per share of the Common Stock on that date. Pursuant to such formula, directors received options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock as of October 17, 1995, and will receive options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock on the first business day of each January beginning in 1996. Each option is immediately exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant. The Company has 250,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1995 Director Plan. As of February 29, 1996, options exercisable to purchase 230,000 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from $1.00 to $1.25 per share have been granted under the 1995 Director Plan. 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan In October 1995, the stockholders of the Company approved adoption of the Company's 1995 Employee Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan (the "1995 Employee Plan"), which plan provides for the issuance of Incentive Options, Non- Qualified Options and SARs. Directors of the Company are not eligible to participate in the 1995 Employee Plan. The 1995 Employee Plan provides for the grant of stock options which qualify as Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Code, to be issued to officers who are employees and other employees, as well as Non-Qualified Options to be issued to officers, employees and consultants. In addition, SARs may be granted in conjunction with the grant of Incentive Options and Non- Qualified Options. The 1995 Employee Plan provides for the grant of Incentive Options, Non- Qualified Options and SARs of up to 400,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events). To the extent that an Incentive Option or Non-Qualified Option is not exercised within the period of exercisability specified therein, it will expire as to the then unexercised portion. If any Incentive Option, Non-Qualified Option or SAR terminates prior to exercise thereof and during the duration of the 1995 Employee Plan, the shares of Common Stock as to which such option or right was not exercised will become available under the 1995 Employee Plan for the grant of additional options or rights to any eligible employee. The shares of Common Stock subject to the 1995 Employee Plan may be made available from either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or both. The Company has 400,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1995 Employee Plan. As of February 29, 1996, options to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock with exercise prices of $1.125 per share have been granted under the 1995 Employee Plan. 23 Item 11.

A reduction of $5,201 of the debt resulted in an issuance of 1,849 shares of common stock. The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 35 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Business Nature of business The Company is in two businesses. Domestically the Company is a provider of diagnostic and clinical services to healthcare facilities and directly to patients both with its own equipment and equipment of other entities under management contracts. In China, the Company sells and services used medical equipment. Note 2 - Accounting policies A summary of significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows: Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medcross, Inc. (the Company) and the following subsidiaries: - Medcross Imaging, Ltd., a limited partnership, provides mobile magnetic resonance imaging services to healthcare facilities. The Company is the sole general partner of the partnership and had a 81.75% ownership interest as of December 31, 1995 and 1994. - Waters Edge Scanning Associates, Inc., a Florida corporation, provides magnetic resonance imaging services. This wholly owned subsidiary acquired the assets of Waters Edge Scanning Associates, Ltd. and its general partner, Florida Medical Enterprises, Inc. on June 1, 1993. - Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay, Inc., a Florida corporation, provides mobile ultrasound services. This wholly owned subsidiary began operations in October 1994 after completion of an acquisition of the 75% ownership interest not previously owned by the Company. Prior to that time, the Company recorded its share of income or loss from the 25% ownership interest on the equity method. On May 1, 1995, this subsidiary distributed all of its assets net of liabilities to the Company. All of the assets of this subsidiary, except cash, were contributed to Waters Edge Scanning Associates, Inc. - Medcross Asia, Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation, was formed by the Company as a wholly owned subsidiary in 1993. This corporation is seeking investment and equipment trading opportunities in the Far East. - Shenyang Medcross Huamei Medical Equipment Company, Ltd. (SMHME), a People's Republic of China (PRC) corporation formed in January 1994, sells and services used computerized tomography (CT) equipment in the Shenyang Province of the PRC. The Company has a 51% ownership interest in SMHME. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conforming with generally accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 36 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 2 - Accounting policies - continued Fair value of financial instruments To meet the reporting requirements of FASB Statement No. 107 ("Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments"), the Company calculates the fair value of financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the book value of those financial instruments. When the fair value is equal to the book value, no additional disclosure is made. The Company uses quoted market prices whenever available to calculate these fair values. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses standard pricing models for various types of financial instruments which takes into account the present value of future cash flows. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. Inventory Inventories consist of used and refurbished computerized tomography scanners held for sale in China. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the specific identification method. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, four to nine years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains or losses on disposals are credited or charged to operations. Investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries During 1995, the Company sold its interest in an unconsolidated subsidiary for $28,000, which was a $78,750 investment in a Florida partnership formed in February 1993. This investment was accounted for under the cost method of accounting. The Company had a 7.5% equity and profits interest in this partnership. The partnership's primary business was the sole shareholder of a Cayman Islands corporation which discontinued operations during the second quarter of 1994. As a result, the Company recorded a $71,250 writedown of the value of the investment during 1994. Until October 1, 1994, the Company had an interest in another unconsolidated subsidiary, Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay (UUSTB). This subsidiary was accounted for under the equity method of accounting, whereby the cost of the investment was adjusted for the allocable share of the undistributed income or losses of the subsidiary. The Company had a 25% equity and profits interest in UUSTB before it purchased the remaining ownership interest. At that time, the partnership was dissolved and a new company was formed (See Note 5). During 1995, the Company invested $6,250 in a joint venture formed in October 1995. The Company has an 18.75% interest in this joint venture and it is accounted for under the cost method of accounting. The joint venture was formed to determine the feasibility of the commercialization of telemedicine. 37 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 2 - Accounting policies - continued Intangible assets Organization cost is amortized on the straight-line basis over a period of sixty months. Loan costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the loans (36 months to 60 months). Syndication and other issuance costs incurred with respect to equity offerings of the Company and sale of limited partnerships interests are deferred and offset against the proceeds of the offerings at closing. Goodwill is amortized on the straight-line basis over a period of twenty to twenty-five years. Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue from health care services at the time services are performed net of contractual allowances based on agreements with third party payers. The Company records revenue from equipment sales when installation is completed. Advance deposits received prior to installation are recorded as a current liability. Warranty liability Equipment sales are generally accompanied by a service warranty. Expected future product warranty costs are recorded as an expense and liability when the product is sold. Foreign currency translation The functional currency for the Company's foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement items using a weighted average exchange rate for the period. The gains or losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, resulting from such translations are included in stockholders' equity. Some transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are made in currencies different from their own. Gains and losses from these transactions are generally included in income as they occur. Net foreign currency transaction gains or losses are not material for any of the periods presented. The effect of foreign currency translation on cash flows in 1994 is primarily the difference between the capital contribution exchange rate stipulated in the joint venture agreement and the exchange rate at the time of the contribution. Income taxes The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. 38 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 2 - Accounting policies - continued Income (loss) per common and equivalent share Income (loss) per common and equivalent share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents consisting of stock options and convertible preferred stock. Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they approximate earnings per common and equivalent share. Note 3 - Major customers and concentrations of credit risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with what it believes to be high credit quality financial institutions and attempts to limit its exposure in any one particular instrument. The Company provided magnetic resonance imaging services to two major customers in 1995 and 1994. The revenue and accounts receivable balances, net of contractual allowances, at year end for each of these customers were as follows:
Revenue Accounts Receivable 1995 1994 1995 1994 -------- -------- ------- ------- Customer A $566,945 $825,751 $87,223 $92,263 Customer B 304,791 395,033 18,200 55,301
Note 4 - Related party transactions The Company had a management agreement with the unconsolidated subsidiary, of which the Company is a general partner. The Company also had a management agreement with the previously unconsolidated subsidiary of which it purchased the 75% interest in October 1994. The Company recognized revenue from these entities in the amount of $3,200 and $111,534 during 1995 and 1994, respectively. There were no accounts receivables from these entities at December 31, 1995. During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company received advances totaling $218,000 from Mortgage Network International. Henry Y.L. Toh, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has management control over Mortgage Network International ("MNI"). Such advances were previously payable upon demand. Subsequent to the extension of such advances, the Board of Directors approved delivery of a promissory note representing the aggregate amount of such advances, which promissory note matured by its terms on October 1, 1995 and bears interest at one percent over the prime rate of interest established by Southwest Bank of Texas, N.A. Subsequently, the Company and MNI modified the Note such that: (i) a principal payment in the amount of eighty-eight thousand dollars ($88,000) is due and payable on December 31, 1996; (ii) interest thereon is payable monthly at the rate of 10.5%; and (iii) the remaining principal amount of one-hundred thirty thousand dollars ($130,000) with interest thereon at the rate of 10.5% will be paid in thirty-six (36) equal monthly payments of four-thousand, two hundred, and twenty-five dollars and thirty-two cents ($4,225.32). 39 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 5 - Acquisition of assets In October 1994, the Company closed on the acquisition of a 75% ownership interest in Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay (UUSTB) from Urology Ultrasound, Inc. Prior to the acquisition, the Company owned the other 25% ownership interest in UUSTB. The total consideration given for the 75% partnership interest was $168,162. The purchase price was paid in cash at closing. UUSTB was organized on September 9, 1987 and is in the business of providing urological ultrasound services to urologic patients in west central Florida. When the Company acquired the 75% partnership interest in UUSTB from Urology Ultrasound, Inc., the partnership ceased to exist. The Company immediately transferred all assets and liabilities of the partnership, except cash of $115,603 to Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Medcross, formed for the purpose of this acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The results of operations of the acquired enterprise is included in the consolidated financial statements beginning October 1, 1994. Prior to the acquisition, the Company recorded its share of income and loss on its 25% ownership interest in UUSTB using the equity method.

The most restrictive covenant is that Medcross Imaging, Ltd. cannot, without first having obtained a written consent of the lender, make distributions to any of the partners unless its debt coverage ratio is equal to or greater than 1.3 to 1.0 for any twelve consecutive months calculated on a quarterly basis. At December 31, 1995, the Company was in compliance with the covenants. 41 MEDCROSS, INC.

The Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock both have a par value of $10 per share and are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate equal to 2% above the 30 day certificate of deposit rate in effect on the first day of each month at the Texas Commerce Bank. The Company has the right to redeem the Class A and Class B Preferred Stock for $10 per share plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends. Shares of Class A and Class B Preferred Stock may be converted into such number of whole shares of common stock as is determined by multiplying the number of shares of Class A Preferred Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is $10 and the denominator is the conversion price ($.408625). Each share of Class A Preferred Stock will entitle the holder thereof to that number of votes which is equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the Class A Preferred Stock is convertible.

EX-3 2 ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF MEDCROSS, INC. Pursuant to Article III of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation (the "Articles of Incorporation"), and the provisions of Section 607.0602 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, the board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") has resolved to amend Article III of the Articles of Incorporation. 1.The name of the corporation is Medcross, Inc. 2.Article III is hereby amended by adding Section III(f), which shall read in its entirety as follows: "(f) Of the 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized hereunder, 240,000 shares of Preferred Stock shall be designated as Class C 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Class C Preferred Stock"), shall have a par value of $10.00 per share, and shall have the following rights and preferences: 1. Dividends. The holders of the Class C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cumulative preferential dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors in an amount equal to 12% per annum of the liquidation preference per share of $20.00. Dividends may be paid (to the extent permissible under the Florida Business Corporation Act) to the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock in cash or shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or obligations of the Corporation (or any combination thereof), at the option of the Corporation. 2. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, each share of Class C Preferred Stock shall have a liquidation preference of $20.00 per share. 3. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Class C Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights; provided, however, that each holder of Class C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all stockholders meetings at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to all stockholders entitled to vote at such meetings. 4. Redemption. The Corporation may not redeem any shares of Class C Preferred Stock. 5. Conversion Into Common Stock. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this subsection, issued and outstanding shares of Class C Preferred Stock shall convert to common stock of the Corporation, par value $.007 per share (the "Common Stock"), on the second anniversary of the filing of this Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Florida (the "Conversion Date"), and with no other action required by 52 the Corporation or the holder of the Class C Preferred Stock. The shares of Class C Preferred Stock held by each holder thereof shall be converted into such number of whole shares of Common Stock as is determined by multiplying the number of shares of Class C Preferred Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is 20 and the denominator of which is the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined). However, on any liquidation of the Corporation, the right of conversion shall terminate at the close of business on the last full business day before the date fixed for payment of the amount distributable on the Class C Preferred Stock. (b) Promptly after the receipt of certificates representing Class C Preferred Stock and surrender of Class C Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the holder a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Class C Preferred Stock. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Class C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. To the extent permitted by law, the conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the Conversion Date (or on the next preceding business day if the Conversion Date is not a business day) and at that time the rights of the holder of Class C Preferred Stock, as such holder, shall cease, and the holder of the Class C Preferred Stock shall become the holder of record of shares of Common Stock. (c) The conversion price per share of Class C Preferred Stock (the "Conversion Price") shall be seventy percent (70%) of the average of the bid and asked prices per share of the Common Stock as quoted by Nasdaq (or the closing bid price if no transaction price is available, or, in the case of no closing transaction price and no closing bid price being available, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Corporation's Board of Directors) for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the Conversion Date. 6. Rank. With respect to the payment of dividends and rights to redemption and upon liquidation, the shares of the Class C Preferred Stock shall be subordinate to the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock of the Corporation and shall rank senior to the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation." 3.The foregoing amendment was duly adopted by the Board of Directors without the requirement of shareholder action by meeting held on December 8, 1995, pursuant to the provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act. 53 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Medcross, Inc. has caused this Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to be executed by its President and attested to by its Secretary this 18th day of December, 1995.

MEDCROSS, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida, hereby certifies as follows: 1. The name of the corporation is MEDCROSS, INC. and the name under which the corporation was originally incorporated is Mobile Medical, Inc. The date of filing its original Articles of Incorporation with the Department of State was April 21, 1983. 2. These Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation have been adopted by the shareholders and the Board of Directors pursuant to Sections 607.194(4) and 607.194(2), respectively, Florida Statutes. ARTICLE I NAME The name of this corporation is MEDCROSS, INC. ARTICLE II PURPOSES This corporation may engage in any activity or business permitted under the laws of the United States of America and of this State. ARTICLE III CAPITAL STOCK The maximum number of shares of stock which this corporation is authorized to have at any time is: (a) 20,000,000 shares of common stock, having a par value of $.007 per share (the "Common Stock"); and (b) 500,000 shares of preferred stock, having a par value of $10.00 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to divide the Preferred Stock into one or more series and, subject to the provisions and limitations set forth herein, to determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any series so established with regard to the rate or manner of payment of dividends, whether such shares may be redeemed and, if so, the redemption price and the terms and conditions of redemption, sinking fund provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of such shares, the terms and conditions, if any, on which such shares may be converted, and voting rights, if any. Provided, 55 however, except as to any rights and preferences as determined by the Board of Directors as set forth above, all shares of such Preferred Stock regardless of series shall be identical. (c) Of the 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized hereunder, 7,500 shares of Preferred Stock shall be designated 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, shall have a par value of $10 per share, and shall have the following rights and preferences: 1.Dividends. The holders of the shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of any assets at the time legally available therefor and when and as declared by the Board of Directors dividends at the rate of One Dollar and Twenty Cents ($1.20) per share per annum, and no more, payable in cash quarterly commencing on April 1, 1992, and continuing on the first day of July, October, January, and April of each year that any shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding. Such dividends are prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any distribution (as defined below) on the Common Stock of the Company. Such dividends shall accrue on each share of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock from day to day from the date of initial issuance thereof whether or not earned or declared, so that if such dividends with respect to any previous dividend period at the rate provided for herein have not been paid on, or declared and set apart for, all shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the deficiency shall be fully paid on, or declared and set apart for, such shares before any distribution shall be paid on, or declared and set apart for, the Common Stock. For purposes hereof, unless the context otherwise requires, the term "distribution" shall mean the transfer of cash or property without consideration, whether by way of dividend or otherwise, payable other than in Common Stock, on the repurchase or redemption of shares of capital stock of the Company (other than redemptions provided for in Subsection 3 hereof or repurchases of Common Stock held by employees of the Company upon termination of their employment pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase) for cash or property. 2.Voting Rights. Each share of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 40 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders. 3.Redemption. (a) The Company may, at any time after issuance of the 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, call for redemption at the Redemption Price (as defined below) any or all of the outstanding shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with this Subsection 3. If the Company redeems less than all the outstanding shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company shall redeem from each holder a number of shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock that bears the same proportion to all the shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed as the shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock held of record by the holder bears to all the shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock at the time outstanding. However, if a fraction of a share would be redeemed from any holder, the Company may, in order to avoid the redemption of a fractional share, redeem the next higher whole number of shares from the holder or, at its option, add that fraction to the shares to be redeemed from any other holder or holders. 56 (b) The Company shall mail notice of any redemption by certified mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of the shares of the 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at his or her address registered with the Company, which notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Redemption Price. The date of the mailing of notice of redemption shall be the Redemption Date. (c) If notice of redemption has been mailed and the Company has made payment of the Redemption Price, on the Redemption Date all rights of the holders of the shares, as shareholders of the Company by reason of the ownership of the shares, shall cease, and after the Redemption Date the shares shall not be outstanding. If less than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate, representing the unredeemed shares, shall be issued to the holder thereof without cost (except for the payment of any applicable transfer taxes) to the holder. (d) To facilitate the redemption of any shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors is authorized to cause the transfer books of the Company to be closed as to such shares as of the record date for determining the holders of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock entitled to notice of redemption. (e) For purposes hereof, the term "Redemption Price" shall mean $10.50 per share of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. (f) In the event that the shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are redeemed, the Board of Directors reserves the right to further amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to amend and re-designate the rights and preferences applicable to the shares of Preferred Stock designated herein as 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. 4.Optional Conversion Into Common Stock. (a) Subject to the provisions of Subsection 3 hereof regarding redemption, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Subsection 4, the holder of any share or shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock has the right at any time after the expiration of six months after the issuance of the shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock at its option to convert all or a portion of the shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock held by it into such number of whole shares of Common Stock as is determined by multiplying the number of shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock converted by 40. However, on any liquidation of the Company, the right of conversion shall terminate at the close of business on the last full business day before the date fixed for payment of the amount dis-tributable on the 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The holder may exercise this right of conversion only by giving written notice that the holder elects to convert a stated number of shares of the 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock on the date specified in the notice and surrendering to the Company a certificate or certificates for the 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted, at its principal office, at any time during its usual business hours on or before the date set forth in the notice, together with a statement of the name or names (with addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for Common Stock should be issued. 57 (b) Promptly after the receipt of the written notice referred to above and surrender of the share or shares of 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the holder a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. To the extent per-mitted by law, the conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date specified in the written notice, and at that time the rights of the holder of the share or shares, as such a holder, shall cease, and the holder of the 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall become the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock. 5.Liquidation Preference. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of the 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus, or earnings, before any payment shall be made in respect of the Common Stock, an amount equal to Ten Dollars ($10.00) per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for distribution. After setting apart or paying in full the preferential amounts due the holders of the 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, if any, shall be distributed exclusively to the holders of Common Stock, each such issued and outstanding share of Common Stock entitling the holder thereof to receive an equal proportion of said remaining assets. If upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock the full amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled, the holders of the 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets according to the respective amounts which would be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to said shares were paid in full. Neither a consolidation nor merger of the Company into or with any other corporation or corporations, nor the merger of any other corporation into the Company, nor the sale or transfer by the Company of all or any part of its assets, nor a reorganization of the Company, nor the purchase or redemption of all or part of the outstanding shares of any class or classes of the capital stock of the Company, nor a reduction of the capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company within the meaning of any of the provisions of this Subsection 5. (d)Of the 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized hereunder, 200,000 shares of Preferred Stock shall be designated Class A Variable Rate Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Class A Preferred Stock"), shall have a par value of $10.00 per share, and shall have the following rights and preferences: 1.Dividends. The holders of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of any assets at the time legally available therefor and when and as declared by the Board of Directors cumulative dividends at the rate of 5.55% per annum; provided, however, the dividend rate shall be adjusted monthly commencing on April 1, 1992, and continuing on the first day of each and every month thereafter while each share of Class A Preferred Stock is outstanding. The dividend rate for each such month shall be equal to the published rate paid by Texas Commerce Bank, National Association, Houston, Texas, on 30-day certificates of deposit in effect on the first day of each such month plus 2%. Dividends shall be payable in cash quarterly 58 commencing on April 1, 1992, and continuing on the first day of July, October, January, and April of each year that any shares of Class A Preferred Stock are outstanding. Such dividends are prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any distribution (as defined below) on the Common Stock of the Company. Such dividends shall accrue on each share of Class A Preferred Stock from day to day from the date of initial issuance thereof whether or not there are funds legally available for payment of dividends, or such dividends are earned or declared, so that if such dividends with respect to any previous dividend period at the rate provided for herein have not been paid on, or declared and set apart for, all shares of Class A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the deficiency shall be fully paid on, or declared and set apart for, such shares before any distribution shall be paid on, or declared and set apart for, the Common Stock. For purposes hereof, unless the context otherwise requires, the term "distribution" shall mean the transfer of cash or property without consideration, or issuance of indebtedness, whether by way of dividend or otherwise, payable other than in Common Stock, as a dividend on any class or series of capital stock of the Company on the repurchase or redemption of shares of capital stock of the Company (other than repurchases of Common Stock held by employees of the Company upon termination of their employment pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase) for cash or property or as a payment by the Company in liquidation of all or a portion of its assets. 2.Voting Rights. Each share of Class A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to that number of votes which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Class A Preferred Stock is convertible pursuant to Subsection 4 at the time the vote is taken, on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders. Except as otherwise provided herein or required by law, holders of shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall vote with the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock entitled to vote and not as a separate class. 3.[Intentionally omitted.] 4.Optional Conversion Into Common Stock. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Subsection 4, the holder of any share or shares of Class A Preferred Stock has the right at any time after the issuance of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock at its option to convert all or a portion of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock held by it into such number of whole shares of Common Stock as is determined by multiplying the number of shares of Class A Preferred Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is $10.00 and the denominator is the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined). However, on any liquidation of the Company, the right of conversion shall terminate at the close of business on the last full business day before the date fixed for payment of the amount distributable on the Class A Preferred Stock. The holder may exercise this right of conversion only by giving written notice that the holder elects to convert a stated number of shares of the Class A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock on the date specified in the notice and surrendering to the Company a certificate or certificates for the Class A Preferred Stock to be converted, at its principal office, at any time during its usual business hours on or before the date set forth in the notice, together with a statement of the name or names (with addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for Common Stock should be issued. 59 (b) Promptly after the receipt of the written notice referred to above and surrender of the share or shares of Class A Preferred Stock to be converted, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the holder a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. To the extent permitted by law, the conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date specified in the written notice, and at that time the rights of the holder of the share or shares, as such a holder, shall cease, and the holder of the Class A Preferred Stock shall become the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock. (c) The conversion price per share of Common Stock as of any date (the "Conversion Price") shall be $.058375 (the "Initial Conversion Price"), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Subsection 4. (d) (1) In the event that the Company shall make any distribution of its assets upon or with respect to its Common Stock, as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend, each holder of a share of Class A Preferred Stock shall, upon the exercise of his right to convert after the record date for such distribution or, in the absence of a record date, after the date of such distribution, receive, in addition to the shares subscribed for, the amount of such assets (or, at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value thereof at the time of distribution as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) which would have been distributed to such holder if he had exercised his right to convert immediately prior to the record date for such distribution or, in the absence of a record date, immediately prior to the date of such distribution. (2) If at any time the Company shall subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. (3) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, shall be effected in such a way that holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for their shares of Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale, each holder of a share(s) of Class A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter for so long as such share(s) is outstanding to convert such share(s) into the kind and amount of stock, securities, or assets receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidations, merger, or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share(s) of Class A Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidations, merger, or sale, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for herein. 60 (4) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price at any time in effect below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Class A Preferred Stock, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such Conversion Price as so adjusted. (5) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall send to each holder of a share of Class A Preferred Stock a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants (who may be the accountants regularly employed by the Company) selected by the Board of Directors setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. (6) In case: (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; or (2) the Company shall authorize the granting to holders of shares of Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or (3) of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or of any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or of the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation which is to be effected in such a way that holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock; or (4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company; then the Company shall promptly send to the holder of each share of Class A Preferred Stock, at least 30 days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (1) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution of rights, or, if a record date is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of shares of Common Stock of record would be entitled to such dividend or distribution of rights, or (2) the date on which such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that the holders of shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other assets deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. 5.Liquidation Preference. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of the Class A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus, or earnings, before any payment shall be made in respect of the Class B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, an amount equal to Ten 61 Dollars ($10.00) per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for distribution. After setting apart or paying in full the preferential amounts due the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, if any, shall be distributed exclusively to the holders of Class B Preferred Stock or Common Stock. If upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock the full amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled, the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets according to the respective amounts which would be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to said shares were paid in full. Neither a consolidation nor merger of the Company into or with any other corporation or corporations, nor the merger of any other corporation into the Company, nor the sale or transfer by the Company of all or any part of its assets, nor a reorganization of the Company, nor the purchase or redemption of all or part of the outstanding shares of any class or classes of the capital stock of the Company, nor a reduction of the capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company within the meaning of any of the provisions of this Subsection 5. (e)Of the 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized hereunder, 22,500 shares of Preferred Stock shall be designated Class B Variable Rate Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Class B Preferred Stock"), shall have a par value of $10.00 per share, and shall have the following rights and preferences: 1.Dividends. The holders of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of any assets at the time legally available therefor and when and as declared by the Board of Directors cumulative dividends at the rate of 5.55% per annum; provided, however, the dividend rate shall be adjusted monthly commencing on April 1, 1992, and continuing on the first day of each and every month thereafter while each share of Class B Preferred Stock is outstanding. The dividend rate for each such month shall be equal to the published rate paid by Texas Commerce Bank, National Association, Houston, Texas, on 30-day certificates of deposit in effect on the first day of each such month plus 2%. Dividends shall be payable in cash quarterly commencing on April 1, 1992, and continuing on the first day of July, October, January, and April of each year that any shares of Class B Preferred Stock are outstanding. Such dividends are prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any distribution (as defined below) on the Common Stock of the Company. Such dividends shall accrue on each share of Class B Preferred Stock from day to day from the date of initial issuance thereof whether or not there are funds legally available for payment of dividends, or such dividends are earned or declared, so that if such dividends with respect to any previous dividend period at the rate provided for herein have not been paid on, or declared and set apart for, all shares of Class B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the deficiency shall be fully paid on, or declared and set apart for, such shares before any distribution shall be paid on, or declared and set apart for, the Common Stock. For purposes hereof, unless the context otherwise requires, the term "distribution" shall mean the transfer of cash or property without consideration, or issuance of indebtedness, whether by way of dividend or otherwise, payable other than in Common Stock, as a dividend on any class or series of capital stock of the Company on the repurchase or redemption of shares of capital stock of the Company (other than redemptions provided for in Subsection 3 hereof or repurchases of Common Stock held by employees of the 62 Company upon termination of their employment pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase) for cash or property or as a payment by the Company in liquidation of all or a portion of its assets. 2.Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by law, the shares of Class B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. 3.Redemption. (a) The Company may, at any time after issuance of the Class B Preferred Stock, call for redemption at the Redemption Price (as defined below) any or all of the outstanding shares of Class B Preferred Stock in accordance with this Subsection 3. The Company shall mail notice of any redemption by certified mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of the shares of the Class B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at his or her address registered with the Company, which notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Redemption Price. The date of the mailing of notice of redemption shall be the Redemption Date. (b) If notice of redemption has been mailed and the Company has made payment of the Redemption Price, on the Redemption Date all rights of the holders of the shares, as shareholders of the Company by reason of the ownership of the shares, shall cease, and after the Redemption Date the shares shall not be outstanding. If less than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate, representing the unredeemed shares, shall be issued to the holder thereof without cost (except for the payment of any applicable transfer taxes) to the holder. If called for redemption, the right to convert Class B Preferred Stock to Common Stock pursuant to Subsection 4 shall terminate on the close of business on the day before the date fixed for actual payment of the Redemption Price unless the Company shall default in paying the Redemption Price. (c) To facilitate the redemption of any shares of Class B Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors is authorized to cause the transfer books of the Company to be closed as to such shares as of the record date for determining the holders of Class B Preferred Stock entitled to notice of redemption. (d) For purposes hereof, the term "Redemption Price" shall mean $10.00 per share of Class B Preferred Stock, plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on such share on the date payment of the Redemption Price is paid. 4.Optional Conversion Into Common Stock. (a) Subject to the provisions of Subsection 3 hereof regarding redemption, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Subsection 4, the holder of any share or shares of Class B Preferred Stock has the right at any time after the issuance of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock at its option to convert all or a portion of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock held by it into such number of whole shares of Common Stock as is determined by multiplying the number of shares of Class B Preferred Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is $10.00 and the denominator is the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined). However, on any liquidation of the Company, the right of conversion shall terminate at the close of business on the last full business day before the date fixed for payment of the amount distributable on the Class B Preferred Stock. The holder may exercise this right of conversion only by giving written notice 63 that the holder elects to convert a stated number of shares of the Class B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock on the date specified in the notice and surrendering to the Company a certificate or certificates for the Class B Preferred Stock to be converted, at its principal office, at any time during its usual business hours on or before the date set forth in the notice, together with a statement of the name or names (with addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for Common Stock should be issued. (b) Promptly after the receipt of the written notice referred to above and surrender of the share or shares of Class B Preferred Stock to be converted, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the holder a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Class B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. To the extent permitted by law, the conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date specified in the written notice, and at that time the rights of the holder of the share or shares, as such a holder, shall cease, and the holder of the Class B Preferred Stock shall become the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock. (c) The conversion price per share of Common Stock as of any date (the "Conversion Price") shall be $.058375 (the "Initial Conversion Price"), as adjusted from time to time in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Subsection 4. (d) (1) In the event that the Company shall make any distribution of its assets upon or with respect to its Common Stock, as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend, each holder of a share of Class B Preferred Stock shall, upon the exercise of his right to convert after the record date for such distribution or, in the absence of a record date, after the date of such distribution, receive, in addition to the shares subscribed for, the amount of such assets (or, at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value thereof at the time of distribution as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) which would have been distributed to such holder if he had exercised his right to convert immediately prior to the record date for such distribution or, in the absence of a record date, immediately prior to the date of such distribution. (2) If at any time the Company shall subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. (3) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, shall be effected in such a way that holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for their shares of Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale, each holder of a share(s) of Class B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter for so long as such share(s) is outstanding to convert such share(s) into the kind and amount of stock, securities, or assets receivable upon such 64 reorganization, reclassification, consolidations, merger, or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share(s) of Class B Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidations, merger, or sale, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for herein. (4) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price at any time in effect below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B Preferred Stock, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such Conversion Price as so adjusted. (5) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall send to each holder of a share of Class B Preferred Stock a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants (who may be the accountants regularly employed by the Company) selected by the Board of Directors setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. (6) In case: (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; or (2) the Company shall authorize the granting to holders of shares of Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or (3) of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or of any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or of the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation which is to be effected in such a way that holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock; or (4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company; then the Company shall promptly send to the holder of each share of Class B Preferred Stock, at least 30 days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (1) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution of rights, or, if a record date is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of shares of Common Stock of record would be entitled to such dividend or distribution of rights, or (2) the date on which such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that the holders of shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other assets deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. 66 5.Liquidation Preference. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of the Class B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus, or earnings, before any payment shall be made in respect of the Common Stock, an amount equal to Ten Dollars ($10.00) per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for distribution. After setting apart or paying in full the preferential amounts due the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, if any, shall be distributed exclusively to the holders of Common Stock, each such issued and outstanding share of Common Stock entitling the holder thereof to receive an equal proportion of said remaining assets. If upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock the full amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled, the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets according to the respective amounts which would be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to said shares were paid in full. Neither a consolidation nor merger of the Company into or with any other corporation or corporations, nor the merger of any other corporation into the Company, nor the sale or transfer by the Company of all or any part of its assets, nor a reorganization of the Company, nor the purchase or redemption of all or part of the outstanding shares of any class or classes of the capital stock of the Company, nor a reduction of the capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company within the meaning of any of the provisions of this Subsection 5. (f)Of the 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized hereunder, 240,000 shares of Preferred Stock shall be designated as Class C 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Class C Preferred Stock"), shall have a par value of $10.00 per share, and shall have the following rights and preferences: 1. Dividends. The holders of the Class C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cumulative preferential dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors in an amount equal to 12% per annum of the liquidation preference per share of $20.00. Dividends may be paid (to the extent permissible under the Florida Business Corporation Act) to the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock in cash or shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or obligations of the Corporation (or any combination thereof), at the option of the Corporation. 2. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, each share of Class C Preferred Stock shall have a liquidation preference of $20.00 per share. 3. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Class C Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights; provided, however, that each holder of Class C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all stock- holders meetings at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to all stockholders entitled to vote at such meetings. 66 4. Redemption. The Corporation may not redeem any shares of Class C Preferred Stock. 5. Conversion Into Common Stock. (1) Subject to the terms and conditions of this subsection, issued and outstanding shares of Class C Preferred Stock shall convert to common stock of the Corporation, par value $.007 per share (the "Common Stock"), on the second anniversary of the filing of this Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Florida (the "Conversion Date"), and with no other action required by the Corporation or the holder of the Class C Preferred Stock. The shares of Class C Preferred Stock held by each holder thereof shall be converted into such number of whole shares of Common Stock as is determined by multiplying the number of shares of Class C Preferred Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is 20 and the denominator of which is the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined). However, on any liquidation of the Corporation, the right of conversion shall terminate at the close of business on the last full business day before the date fixed for payment of the amount distributable on the Class C Preferred Stock. (2) Promptly after the receipt of certificates representing Class C Preferred Stock and surrender of Class C Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the holder a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Class C Preferred Stock. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Class C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. To the extent permitted by law, the conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the Conversion Date (or on the next preceding business day if the Conversion Date is not a business day) and at that time the rights of the holder of Class C Preferred Stock, as such holder, shall cease, and the holder of the Class C Preferred Stock shall become the holder of record of shares of Common Stock. (3) The conversion price per share of Class C Preferred Stock (the "Conversion Price") shall be seventy percent (70%) of the average of the bid and asked prices per share of the Common Stock as quoted by Nasdaq (or the closing bid price if no transaction price is available, or, in the case of no closing transaction price and no closing bid price being available, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Corporation's Board of Directors) for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days prior to the Conversion Date. 6. Rank. With respect to the payment of dividends and rights to redemption and upon liquidation, the shares of the Class C Preferred Stock shall be subordinate to the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock of the Corporation and shall rank senior to the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation." ARTICLE IV VOTING RIGHTS Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock that he holds on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. 67 ARTICLE V BOARD OF DIRECTORS 1. Number. The property, business, and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and controlled by the Board of Directors. The number of directors of the corporation shall not be less than five nor more than nine, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors, and such exact number shall be five until otherwise determined by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors; provided, however, that the number of directors shall not be reduced so as to shorten the term of a director at that time in office. As used in this Article V, the term "whole Board" means the total number of directors which the corporation would have if there were no vacancies. 2. Classes. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the whole Board permits, with the term of office of one class expiring each year. Directors of the first class shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting, directors of the second class shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the second succeeding annual meeting, and directors of the third class shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting. Any vacancies in the Board of Directors for any reason, and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the Board of Directors acting by a majority of the directors then in office and any directors so chosen would hold office until the next election of the class for which such directors have been chosen and until their successors are elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. At each annual meeting of shareholders the successors to the class of directors whose term shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting. 3. Removal. Any director may be removed by the vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors, but only for cause. Except as may otherwise be provided by law, cause for removal shall be construed to exist only if: (a) the director whose removal is proposed has been convicted of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (b) such director has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation in a matter of substantial importance to the corporation and such adjudication is no longer subject to direct appeal. In addition, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 67% of the outstanding shares of the corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors cast at a meeting of the shareholders called for that purpose. 4. Vacancies. Any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, removal from office, the creation of a new directorship by an increase in the authorized number of directors, or otherwise shall be filled by a majority vote of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum of the entire Board of Directors. Directors so chosen to fill any vacancy shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders at which the term of the class to which they have been elected expires. 68 5. Amendment, Alteration, Repeal, Etc. Notwithstanding anything contained in these Articles of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 67% of the outstanding shares of the corporation then entitled to vote in the election of directors shall be required to amend, alter, or repeal or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article V. ARTICLE VI LIQUIDATION, REORGANIZATION, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, SALE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL ASSETS, OR RECLASSIFICATION OF SECURITIES Any liquidation, reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of the corporation's assets, or the reclassification of its securities shall be approved by (a) the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Stock held by other than officers, directors, and those persons who hold 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, and (b) a vote of a majority of shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock held by the Company's officers, directors, and those persons who hold 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained in these Articles of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 67% of the outstanding shares of the corporation then entitled to vote in the election of directors shall be required to amend, alter, or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article VI. 69 EX-3 4 ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF I-LINK WORLDWIDE INC.

The address of the registered office may be changed from time to time. ARTICLE 2. SHAREHOLDERS 2.1 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held at such date and time as shall be fixed by the board of directors, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a legal holiday in the State of Utah, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day. 2.2 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, may be called by the president or by the board of directors, and shall be called by the president at the written request of the holders of not less than one-tenth of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the meeting. 2.3 Place of Meeting. The board of directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Utah, as the place of meeting for any annual or any special meeting of the shareholders. If no designation is made by the directors, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the corporation in the State of Utah. 73 2.4 Notice of Meeting. (a) Content and Mailings Requirements. Written notice stating the date, time and place of each annual or special shareholder meeting shall be delivered no fewer than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the president, the board of directors, or other persons calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting and to any other shareholder entitled by the Act or the articles of incorporation to receive notice of the meeting. Notice of special shareholder meetings shall include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. (b) Effective Date. Written notice shall be deemed to be effective at the earlier of: (1) when mailed, if addressed to the shareholder's address shown in the corporation's current record of shareholders; (2) when received; (3) five days after it is mailed; or (4) on the date shown on the return receipt if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and the receipt is signed by or on behalf of the addressee. (c) Effect of Adjournment. If any shareholder meeting is adjourned to a different date, time or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time and place, if the new date, time and place is announced at the meeting before adjournment. But if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed, then notice must be given pursuant to the requirements of this section to those persons who are shareholders as of the new record date. 2.5 Waiver of Notice. (a) Written Waiver. A shareholder may waive any notice required by the Act, the articles of incorporation or the bylaws, by a writing signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, which is delivered to the corporation (either before or after the date and time stated in the notice) for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. (b) Attendance at Meetings. A shareholder's attendance at a meeting: (1) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting because of lack of notice or effective notice; and (2) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented. 2.6 Record Date. (a) Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or shareholders 74 entitled to receive payment of any distribution, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the board of directors may fix in advance a date as the record date. Such record date shall not be more than 70 days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. If no record date is so fixed by the board for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of shareholders, the record date for determination of such shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day before the first notice is delivered to shareholders. If no record date is fixed by the board for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive a distribution, the record date shall be the date the board authorizes the distribution. If no record date is fixed by the board for the determination of shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting, the record date shall be the date the first shareholder signs a consent. (b) Effect of Adjournment. When a determination of share- holders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the board of directors fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting. 2.7 Shareholder List. After fixing a record date for a share- holders' meeting, the corporation shall prepare a list of the names of its shareholders entitled to be given notice of the meeting. The list must be arranged by voting group and within each voting group by class or series of shares, must be alphabetical within each class or series, and must show the address of, and the number of shares held by, each shareholder. The shareholder list must be available for inspection by any shareholder, beginning on the earlier of ten days before the meeting for which the list was prepared or two business days after notice of the meeting is given for which the list was prepared and continuing through the meeting and any adjournment thereof. The list shall be available at the corporation's principal office or at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held. 2.8 Shareholder Quorum and Voting Requirements. (a) Quorum. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. Unless the articles of incorporation or the Act provide otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting. 75 (b) Voting Groups. If the articles of incorporation or the Act provide for voting by a single voting group on a matter, action on that matter is taken when voted upon by that voting group. If the articles of incorporation or the Act provide forvoting by two or more voting groups on a matter, action on that matter is taken only when voted upon by each of those voting groups counted separately. Action may be taken by one voting group on a matter even though no action is taken by another voting group entitled to vote on the matter. (c) Shareholder Action. If a quorum exists, action on a matter, other than the election of directors, by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the articles of incorporation or the Act require a greater number of affirmative votes. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present. 2.9 Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote in person or by proxy which is executed in writing by the shareholder or which is executed by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation or other person authorized to tabulate votes before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. 2.10 Voting of Shares. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or by applicable law, each outstanding share, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. Except as provided by specific court order, no shares of the corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by a second corporation, domestic or foreign, shall be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time for purposes of any meeting if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such second corporation are held by the corporation. The prior sentence shall not limit the power of the corporation to vote any shares, including its own shares, held by it in a fiduciary capacity. 2.11 Meetings by Telecommunications. Any or all shareholders may participate in an annual or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all shareholders participating may hear each other during the meeting. A shareholder participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting. 76 2.12 Action Without a Meeting. (a) Written Consent. Any action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if one or more consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof were present and voted. Action taken under this section has the same effect as action taken at a meeting of shareholders and may be described as such in any document. (b) Post-Consent Notice. Unless the written consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been obtained, notice of any shareholder approval without a meeting shall be given at least ten days before the consummation of the action authorized by such approval to (i) those shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented in writing, and (ii) those shareholders not entitled to vote and to whom the Act requires that notice of the proposed action be given. Any such notice must contain or be accompanied by the same material that is required under the Act to be sent in a notice of meeting at which the proposed action would have been submitted to the shareholders for action. (c) Effective Date and Revocation of Consents. No action taken pursuant to this section shall be effective unless all written consents on which the corporation relies for the taking of an action are received by the corporation within a 60-day period and not revoked. Such action is effective as of the date the last written consent necessary to effect the action is received, unless all of the written consents specify a later date as the effective date of the action. If the corporation has received written consents signed by all shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the action, the effective date of the action may be any date that is specified in all the written consents as the effective date of the action. Any such writing may be received by the corporation by electronically transmitted facsimile or other form of communication providing the corporation with a complete copy thereof, including a copy of the signatures thereto. Any shareholder giving a written consent pursuant to this section may revoke the consent by a signed writing describing the action and stating that the consent is revoked, provided that such writing is received by the corporation prior to the effective date of the action. (d) Unanimous Consent for Election of Directors. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, directors may not be elected by written consent unless such consent is unanimous by all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors. ARTICLE 3. BOARD OF DIRECTORS 3.1 General Powers. All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed under the direction of, the board of directors. 77 3.2 Number, Tenure and Qualifications. The authorized number of directors shall be not less than one nor more than seven. The current number of directors shall be within the limits specified above, as determined from time to time by resolution adopted by either the shareholders or the directors. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until the director's earlier death, resignation or removal. However, if a director's term expires, the director shall continue to serve until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until there is a decrease in the number of directors. Directors do not need to be residents of Utah or shareholders of the corporation. 3.3 Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the board of directors shall be held without other notice than this bylaw immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of shareholders, for the purpose of appointing officers and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting. The board of directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution. 3.4 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the president or any director. The person authorized to call special meetings of the board of directors may fix any place as the place for holding any special meeting of the board of directors. 3.5 Notice of Special Meetings. Notice of the date, time and place of any special director meeting shall be given at least two days previously thereto either orally or in writing. Oral notice shall be effective when communicated in a comprehensive manner. Written notice is effective as to each director at the earlier of: (a) when received; (b) five days after deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the director's address shown in the records of the corporation; or (c) the date shown on the return receipt if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and the receipt is signed by or on behalf of the director. Any director may waive notice of any meeting before or after the date and time of the meeting stated in the notice. Except as provided in the next sentence, the waiver must be in writing and signed by the director entitled to the notice. A director's attendance at or participation in a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, unless the director at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon his arrival, objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting because of lack of or defective notice, and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting. Unless required by the articles of incorporation, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any special meeting of the board of directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting. 78 3.6 Quorum and Voting. (a) Quorum. A majority of the number of directors prescribed by resolution adopted pursuant to section 3.2 of these bylaws, or if no number is prescribed, the number in office immediately before the meeting begins, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors, unless the articles of incorporation require a greater number. (b) Voting. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present when the vote is taken shall be the act of the board of directors unless the articles of incorporation require a greater percentage. (c) Presumption of Assent. A director who is present at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors when corporate action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless: (1) the director objects at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon his or her arrival, to holding or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to any action taken at the meeting; (2) the director contemporaneously requests that his or her dissent or abstention as to any specific action be entered in the minutes of the meeting; or (3) the director causes written notice of his or her dissent or abstention as to any specific action be received by the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the corporation immediately after adjournment of the meeting. The right of dissent or abstention is not available to a director who votes in favor of the action taken. 3.7 Meetings by Telecommunications. Any or all directors may participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may hear each other during the meeting. A director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting. 3.8 Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if all the directors consent to such action in writing. Action taken by written consent is effective when the last director signs the consent, unless, prior to such time, any director has revoked a consent by a signed writing received by the corporation, or unless the consent specifies a different effective date. A signed consent has the effect of an action taken at a meeting of directors and may be described as such in any document. 3.9 Resignation. A director may resign at any time by giving a written notice of resignation to the corporation. Such a resignation is effective when the notice is received by the corporation unless the notice specifies a later effective date, and the acceptance of such recognition shall not be necessary to make it effective. 79 3.10 Removal. The shareholders may remove one or more directors at a meeting called for that purpose if notice has been given that a purpose of the meeting is such removal. The removal may be with or without cause unless the articles of incorporation provide that directors may only be removed with cause. If a director is elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove that director. A director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove him or her exceeds the number of votes cast not to remove him or her. 3.11 Vacancies. Unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, if a vacancy occurs on the board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors, the shareholders may fill the vacancy. During such time that the shareholders fail or are unable to fill such vacancies then and until the shareholders act: (1) the board of directors may fill the vacancy; or (2) if the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the board, they may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors remaining in office. If the vacant office was held by a director elected by a voting group of shareholders: (1) if one or more directors are elected by the same voting group, only such directors are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by the directors; and (2) only the holders of shares of that voting group are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by the shareholders. A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date (by reason of a resignation effective at a later date) may be filled before the vacancy occurs but the new director may not take office until the vacancy occurs. 3.12 Compensation. By resolution of the board of directors, each director may be paid his or her expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid a stated salary as director or a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors or both. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. 3.13 Committees. The board of directors may create one or more committees and appoint members of the board of directors to serve on them. Each committee must have two or more members, who serve at the pleasure of the board of directors. Those sections of this Article III which govern meetings, action without meetings, notice and waiver of notice, and quorum and voting requirements of the board of directors, apply to committees and their members. ARTICLE 4. OFFICERS 4.1 Number. The officers of the corporation shall be a president, a secretary and a treasurer, each of whom shall be appointed by the board of directors. Such other officers and assistant officers as may be deemed necessary, including any vice-presidents, may also be appointed by the board of directors. If specifically authorized by the board of directors, an officer may appoint one or more officers or assistant officers. The same individual may simultaneously hold more than one office in the corporation. 80 4.2 Appointment and Term of Office. The officers of the corporation shall be appointed by the board of directors for a term as determined by the board of directors. The designation of a specified term does not grant to the officer any contract rights, and the board can remove the officer at any time prior to the termination of such term. If no term is specified, the officer shall hold office until he or she resigns, dies or until he or she is removed in the manner provided in section 4.3 of these bylaws. 4.3 Removal. Any officer or agent may be removed by the board of directors at any time, with or without cause. Such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Appointment of an officer or agent shall not of itself create contract rights. 4.4 Resignation. Any officer may resign at any time, subject to any rights or obligation under any existing contracts between the officer and the corporation, by giving notice to the president or board of directors. An officer's resignation shall be effective when received by the corporation, unless the notice specifies a later effective date, and the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. 4.5 Authority and Duties of Officers. The officers of the corporation shall have the authority and shall exercise the powers and perform the duties specified below and as may be additionally specified by the board of directors or these bylaws, except that in each event each officer shall exercise such powers and perform such duties as may be required by law: (a) President.

Unless there is a chairman of the board, the president shall, when present, preside at all meetings of the shareholders and of the board of directors. The president may sign, with the secretary or any other proper officer of the corporation thereunto authorized by the board of directors, certificates for shares of the corporation and deeds, mortgages, bonds, contracts, or other instruments which the board of directors has authorized to be executed, except in cases where the signing and execution thereof shall be expressly delegated by the board of directors or by these bylaws to some other officer or agent of the corporation, or shall be required by law to be otherwise signed or executed. In general, the president shall perform all duties incident to the office of president and such other duties as may be prescribed by the board of directors from time to time. (b) Vice-President. If appointed, the vice-president (or if there is more than one, each vice-president) shall assist the president and shall perform such duties as may be assigned to him or her by the president or by the board of directors. If appointed, in the absence of the president or in the event of his death, inability or refusal to act, the vice-president (or in the event there is more than one vice- 81 president, the vice-presidents in the order designated at the time of their election, or in the absence of any designation, then in the order of their appointment) shall perform the duties of the president, and when so acting, shall have all the powers of and be subject to all the restrictions upon the president. (If there is no vice-president, then the treasurer shall perform such duties of the president.) (c) Secretary. The secretary shall: (i) keep the minutes of the proceedings of the shareholders, the board of directors and any committees of the board in one or more books provided for that purpose; (ii) see that all notices are duly given in accordance with the provisions of these bylaws or as required by law; (iii) be custodian of the corporate records; (iv) when requested or required, authenticate any records of the corporation; (v) keep a register of the post office address of each shareholder which shall be furnished to the secretary by such shareholder; (vi) sign with the president, or a vice- president, certificates for shares of the corporation, the issuance of which shall have been authorized by resolution of the board of directors; (vii) have general charge of the stock transfer books of the corporation; and (viii) in general, perform all duties incident to the office of secretary and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned by the president or by the board of directors.

The treasurer shall: (i) have charge and custody of and be responsible for all funds and securities of the corporation; (ii) receive and give receipts for moneys due and payable to the corporation from any source whatsoever, and deposit all such moneys in the name of the corporation in such banks, trust companies, or other depositaries as shall be selected by the board of directors; and (iii) in general, perform all of the duties incident to the office of treasurer and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned by the president or by the board of directors. If required by the board of directors, the treasurer shall give a bond for the faithful discharge of his or her duties in such sum and with such surety or sureties as the board of directors shall determine. Assistant treasurers, if any, shall have the same powers and duties, subject to the supervision of the treasurer. 4.6 Salaries. The salaries of the officers shall be fixed from time to time by the board of directors. ARTICLE 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES 5.1 Indemnification of Directors. The corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to the directors of the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the corporation shall indemnify the directors of the corporation in all cases in which a corporation may indemnify a director under section 16-10a-902 of the Act. The corporation shall consider and act expeditiously as possible upon any and all requests by a director for indemnification or 82 advancement of expenses. 5.2 Indemnification of Officers, Agents and Employee Who Are Not Directors. The board of directors may indemnify and advance expenses to any officer, employee or agent of the corporation who is not a director of the corporation to any extent consistent with public policy, as determined by the general or specific actions of the board of directors. 5.3 Insurance. By action of the board of directors, notwithstanding any interest of the directors in such action, the corporation may purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation, against any liability asserted against or incurred by such person in that capacity or arising from such person's status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person under the applicable provisions of the Act. ARTICLE 6. STOCK 6.1 Issuance of Shares. The corporation may issue the number of shares of each class or series of capital stock authorized by the articles of incorporation. The issuance or sale by the corporation of any shares of its authorized capital stock of any class shall be made only upon authorization by the board of directors, unless otherwise provided by statute. The board of directors may authorize the issuance of shares for consideration consisting of any tangible or intangible property or benefit to the corporation, including cash, promissory notes, services performed, contracts or arrangements for services to be performed, or other securities of the corporation. Shares shall be issued for such consideration as shall be fixed from time to time by the board of directors. 6.2 Certificates for Shares. (a) Content. Shares may but need not be represented by certificates in such form as determined by the board of directors and stating on their face, at a minimum, the name of the corporation and that it is formed under the laws of the State of Utah, the name of the person to whom issued, and the number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, the certificate represents. Such certificates shall be signed (either manually or by facsimile) by the president or a vice-president and by the secretary or an assistant secretary and may be sealed with a corporate seal or a facsimile thereof. Each certificate for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. (b) Legend as to Class or Series. If the corporation is authorized to issue different classes of shares or different series within a class, the designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations applicable to each class and the variations in rights, preferences and limitations determined for each series (and the authority of the board of directors to determine variations for future series) must be summarized on the front or 83 back of each certificate. Alternatively, each certificate may state conspicuously on its front or back that the corporation will furnish the share- holder this information on request in writing and without charge. (c) Shareholder List. The name and address of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the corporation.

(the "Company), a Florida corporation, hereby certifies that for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Company, Scott Cook is entitled, subject to the terms set forth in this option (the "Option"), at any time or from time to time, commencing January 1, 1996 (the "Exercise Date") through but not later than December 31, 1999 (the "Expiration Date"), to purchase from the Company One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of common stock, $.007 par value (the "Common Stock") of the Company (the "Shares") at an exercise price of one dollar ($1.00) per Share (such exercise price per Share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions set forth below, being referred to herein as the "Exercise Price"). This Option and all rights hereunder, to the extent such rights shall not have been exercised, shall terminate and become null and void to the extent the Holder fails to exercise any portion of this Option prior to 5:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the Expiration Date. 1. Restrictions on Transfer of Shares The Shares underlying this Option are restricted securities and have not been the subject of registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in the absence of: (i) an effective registration statement for such securities under said Act, or (ii) an exemption therefrom under said Act. 2. Exercise of Option (a) All or any part of this Option may be exercised by the holder of this Option (the "Holder") by surrendering it, with the form of subscription annexed hereto duly executed by such Holder, to the Company at its principal executive office or to the Company's transfer agent accompanied by payment in full, in cash or by certified or official bank check, of the Exercise Price payable in respect of all or part of the Option being 101 exercised. If less than the entire Option is exercised, the Company shall, upon such exercise, execute and deliver to the Holder hereof a new option in the same form as this Option evidencing the right to purchase Shares hereunder to the extent not exercised. This Option shall be deemed to have been exercised prior to the close of business on the date this Option is surrendered and payment is made in accordance with the foregoing provision; (b) The Company shall, at the time of any exercise of all or part of this Option, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Option; provided that if the Holder of this Option shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligations of the Company to afford to such Holder any such rights; (c) The Shares which may be delivered upon the exercise of this Option shall, upon delivery, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect thereto; and (d) The Company shall cooperate with the Holder in an exercise pursuant to which all or part of the Shares will be sold simultaneously with the exercise of this Option with the broker-dealer, if any, participating in such sale being irrevocably instructed to remit the proceeds of the exercise to the Company upon settlement of the sale of the underlying Shares. 3. Fractional Shares No fractional securities or scrip representing fractional securities shall be issued upon the exercise of this Option. With respect to any fraction of a security called for upon any such exercise hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current market value of such security, determined as follows: (a) If the security is listed on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange, the current value shall be the last reported sale price of the security on such exchange on the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Option, or if no such sale is made on such day, the average closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange; or (b) If the security is not listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the current value shall be the last reported sale price on the Nasdaq National Market System ("NASDAQ/NMS") or the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices reported by the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ") or the NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or, if not so quoted, by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.) on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Option; or 102 (c) If the security is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and prices are not reported on NASDAQ, or the NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.), an amount, not less than the book value, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the board of directors of the Company. 4. Rights of the Holder (a) The Company shall advise the Holder or its transferee, whether the Holder holds the Option or has exercised the Option and holds Shares, by written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Act covering any securities of the Company, for its own account or for the account of others, and will for a period of three years beginning on the Exercise Date, upon the request of the Holder, include in any registration statement, such information as may be required to permit a public offering of the Shares underlying the Option (the "Registrable Securities"). The Company shall supply prospectuses and such other documents as the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to register and qualify any of the Registrable Securities for sale in such states as such Holder reasonably designates and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary to enable such Holder to consummate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such public offering is on a firm commitment underwritten basis and the managing underwriter thereof advises the Company and the Holder in writing that the sale of such securities would impair the underwritten offering of securities for the account of the Company, the Holder will not be permitted to include such securities in the subject offering; and the Holder thereafter may exercise his/its rights to a demand registration via a separate registration statement and pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof immediately. (b) If the Holder gives notice to the Company at any time to the effect that the Holder desires to register Registrable Securities under the Act, under such circumstances that a public distribution (within the meaning of the Act) of any such securities will be involved then the Company will, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, file a registration statement pursuant to the Act, so as to enable the Registrable Securities to be publicly sold under the Act as promptly as practicable thereafter and the Company will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective; provided, that the Holder shall furnish the Company with appropriate information in connection therewith as the Company may reasonably request in writing. The Holder may, at its option, request the filing of a registration statement under the Act on one occasion during the three-year period beginning on the Exercise Date. The Holder may, at its option, request the registration of the Registrable Securities in a registration statement filed by the Company as contemplated by Section 4(a) or in connection with a request made pursuant to this Section 4(b) prior to acquisition of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option and even though the Holder has not given notice of exercise of the Option. The Holder may, at its option, request such registration during the requisite three-year period with respect to the Registrable Securities, and such registration rights may be exercised by the Holder prior to or subsequent to the exercise of the Option. Within ten days after receiving any such notice pursuant to this subparagraph (b), the Company shall give notice 103 to the Holder, advising that the Company is proceeding with the preparation and filing of a registration statement. In the event the registration statement is not filed within the period specified herein, unless such delay is caused by a requirement to include financial statements and the delay is not beyond the date such statements are required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the expiration date of this Option shall be extended by an amount of time equal to the delay in filing. All costs and expenses related to the preparation and filing of a registration statement shall be borne by the Company, except that the Holder shall bear the fees of its own counsel and any underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to any of the securities sold by Holder. If the Company determines to include securities to be sold by it in any registration statement pursuant to this Section 4(b), such registration shall be deemed to have been a registration under Section 4(a). The Company will maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement under the Act for a period of at least six months (and for up to an additional three months if requested by the Holder) from the effective date thereof. The Company shall supply prospectuses, and such other documents as the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to register and qualify any of the Registrable Securities for sale in such states as such Holder reasonably designates. (c) The Holder of this Option shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any voting or other rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Option. 5. Adjustments (a) The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable on exercise of this Option and the purchase prices therefor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the event that the Company shall: (1) pay a dividend in, or make a distribution of, shares of Common Stock; (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares; (3) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (4) spin-off a subsidiary by distributing, as a dividend or otherwise, shares of the subsidiary to its stockholders. In any such case, the total number of Shares and the number of any other shares of Common Stock purchasable on exercise of this Option immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive, at the same aggregate exercise price, the number of Shares and the number of any other shares of Common Stock that the Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately following the occurrence of any of the events described above had this Option been exercised in full immediately prior to the occurrence (or applicable record date) of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection shall, in the case of a stock dividend or distribution, be made as of the record date and, in the case of a subdivision or combination, be made as of the effective date thereof. If, as a result of any adjustment pursuant to this subsection, the Holder shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes or series of securities of the Company, the board of directors of the Company shall equitably determine the allocation of the adjusted exercise 104 price between or among shares or other units of such classes or series and shall notify the Holder of such allocation. (b) In the event of any reorganization or recapitalization of the Company or in the event the Company consolidates with or merges into or with another entity or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another entity, then and in each such event, the Holder, on exercise of this Option as provided herein, at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, merger or transfer, shall be entitled, and the documents executed to effectuate such event shall so provide, to receive the stock or other securities or property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if the Holder had exercised this Option immediately prior thereto. In such case, the terms of this Option shall survive the consummation of any such reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, merger or transfer and shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable on the exercise of this Option after such consummation. (c) Whenever a reference is made in this section to the issue or sale of shares of Common Stock, the term "Common Stock" shall mean the Common Stock of the Company of the class authorized as of the date hereof and any other class of stock ranking on a parity with such Common Stock. (d) Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Option or the exercise prices thereof shall be adjusted as required herein, the Company shall forthwith file such information with its Secretary at its principal office, and with the price determined as herein provided and setting forth in detail the facts requiring such adjustment. Each such officer's certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the Holder and the Company shall, forthwith after such adjustment, deliver a copy of such certificate to the Holder. (e) The Company: (1) shall not cause the par value of any shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Option to be in excess of the amount payable therefor on such exercise, and (2) shall take all action as may be necessary or appropriate so that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property deliverable hereunder) upon the exercise of this Option. This Option shall bind the successors and assigns of the Company. (f) Notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable on exercise of this Option shall be made with respect to dilution which would result from the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of options which may be or have been granted pursuant to any employee incentive plan of the Company, whether qualified or non-qualified. 105 6. Notices of Record Dates, Etc. (a) If the Company shall fix a record date of the holders of Common Stock (or other securities at the time deliverable on exercise of this Option) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividends or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class of any securities or to receive any other right contemplated by Section 5 or otherwise; or (b) In the event of any reorganization or recapitalization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another entity; or (c) In the event of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in any such event, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be: (1) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (2) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of voting on or approving such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up and the date on which such event is to take place and the time, if any, is to be fixed, as of which the Holder of record of Common Stock (or any other securities at the time deliverable on exercise of this Option) shall be entitled to exchange its shares of Common Stock (or such other securities) for securities or other property deliverable on such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall be mailed at the same date as the Company shall inform its stockholders, but in no event less than ten days preceding such record date. 7. Reservation of Shares The Company shall at all times reserve, for the purpose of issuance on exercise of this Option, such number of shares of Common Stock (or such class or classes of capital stock or other securities) as shall from time to time be sufficient to comply with this Option, and the Company shall take such corporate action as may in the opinion of its counsel be necessary to increase its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or such other class or classes of capital stock or other securities) in such number as shall be sufficient for such purpose. 8. Approvals The Company shall from time to time use its best efforts to obtain and continue in effect any and all permits, consents, registrations, qualifications and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities and to make all filings under applicable securities laws that may be or become necessary in connection with the issuance, sale, transfer and 106 delivery of this Option and the issuance of securities on any exercise hereof. Nothing contained in this section shall in any way expand, alter or limit the rights of the Holder set forth in Section 1 hereof. 9. Restrictions on Transfer This Option has not been registered under the Act or qualified under any state securities or "blue sky" law. This Option may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred unless registered and qualified pursuant to the provisions of such Act and "blue sky" laws, or unless an exemption from registration and qualification is available. 10. Effective Date This Option is subject to and shall become effective upon approval hereof by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors"). The Holder acknowledges that: (i) the exercise of the rights granted herein is subject to and require such approval; and (ii) this Option shall be presented by the Company for approval to the Board of Directors on or before November 24, 1995. 11. Survival All agreements, covenants, representations and warranties herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Option and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of any parties hereto and the exercise, sale and purchase of this Option, the Options and the Shares (and any other securities or property) issuable on exercise hereof. 12.

EX-10 10 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AGREEMENT, dated February 4, 1996 between Medcross, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), and Henry Toh, an individual resident of Houston, Texas (the "Executive"). WHEREAS, the Executive is a highly valued and trusted employee of the Company; and WHEREAS, the Company desires to offer the Executive continued employment upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and the Executive desires to accept such employment; NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived from this Agreement, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows: 1. Term of Employment; Office and Duties. During the Period of Employment (as hereafter defined), the Company shall employ the Executive as a senior executive of the Company with the title of President and Chief Executive Officer, with the responsibilities prescribed for such office in the Bylaws of the Company and in such other capacities as the Company may designate, from time to time. During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall devote such portion of his time to the business and affairs of the Company as may be necessary to perform the duties of his office except for vacations, illness or incapacity. The Company shall not require that the Executive be based in any place other than Houston, Texas and the Executive shall not be required to perform his duties hereunder for more than 15 working days in any year, or for more than 14 consecutive days at any one time, at any office located in any place other than the aforementioned area. 2. Term; Period of Employment Subject to extension or termination as hereinafter provided, the period of employment hereunder shall be from the date of execution of this Agreement (the "Execution Date") for a period of two (2) years ending December 31, 1997 (the "Period of Employment"), provided that the Period of Employment shall be automatically extended for successive one (1) year periods unless written notice to the contrary is given by the Company to the Executive not less than 120 days prior to: (a) the expiration of the initial period in the Period of Employment; and (b) the expiration of each successive year thereafter. 111 3. Compensation and Benefits. For all services rendered by the Executive as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company during the Period of Employment (and any extension thereof), including, without limitation, services as an executive officer, director, or member of any committee of the Company or any subsidiary, affiliate or division thereof, the Executive shall be compensated as follows: (a) Base Salary. Commencing as of the Execution Date the Company shall pay the Executive a fixed salary ("Base Salary") at a rate of: fifty-four thousand dollars ($54,000) per annum from the Execution Date. The Board of Directors will periodically review, at least annually, the Executive's Base Salary with a view to increasing it further if, in the sole judgment of the Board of Directors, the earnings of the Company or the services of the Executive merit such an increase. Annual increases in Base Salary, once granted, shall not be subject to revocation and shall become a part of the Base Salary. Base Salary will be payable in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Company, but in no event less frequently than bi-monthly. (b) Bonus. The Company shall pay the Executive an annual bonus if, in the sole judgment of the Board of Directors, the earnings of the Company or the services of the Executive merit such bonus. (c) Fringe Benefits. During the Period of Employment and any extension thereof, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in fringe benefit, deferred compensation, stock benefit and stock option plans or programs of the Company, if any, to the extent that his position, tenure, salary, age, health and other qualifications make him eligible to participate, subject to the rules and regulations applicable thereto. Such additional benefits shall include, but not be limited to, paid sick leave and health insurance, all in accordance with the policies of the Company. The Company shall not make any changes in any existing plan, program or arrangement which would adversely affect the Executive's rights or benefits thereunder. Nothing paid to the Executive under any plan or arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be deemed in lieu of the Base Salary payable to the Executive pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section. (d) Perquisites. During the Period of Employment and any extension thereof, the Executive will be entitled to benefits and perquisites offered to its employees by the Company as determined by the Board of Directors. (e) Vacations. The Executive shall be entitled to the number of vacation days in each calendar year, and to compensation in respect of earned but unused vacation days determined in accordance with the Company's vacation policy. The Executive shall also be entitled to all paid holidays given by the Company to its employees. (f) Business Expenses. During the term of the Executive's employment hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in performing services hereunder, including all expenses of travel and living expenses while away from home on business or at the request of and in the service of the Company, provided that such expenses are incurred and accounted for in accordance with 112 the policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors. 4. Disability. The Company shall provide the Executive with substantially the same disability insurance benefits as being provided by the Company for senior executives. In the event of the Executive's Disability (as hereinafter defined), the Executive shall continue to receive his full salary at the rate then in effect for such period of disability, provided that payments so made to the Executive during the first three months of the disability period shall be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, payable to the Executive at or prior to the time of such payment under disability benefit plans of the Company and which were not previously applied to reduce any such payment. In addition, the Executive shall continue to be covered by all of the Company's life, medical, health and dental plans, at the Company's expense, for the term of such disability. 5. Death. During the Period of Employment and extensions thereof, the Company shall provide term life insurance on the life of the Executive with a death benefit of at least $50,000. The Executive shall designate the beneficiary of such policy, such beneficiary subject to change from time to time by the Executive. In the event of the Executive's death, the Company shall pay to the Executive's spouse, or if he leaves no spouse, to his estate, the Executive's base salary to the date of death. The Executive's family shall continue to be covered by all of the Company's life, medical, health and dental plans, at the Company's expense, for twenty-four (24) months following the Executive's death. 6. Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Executive's employment with the Company may be terminated upon written notice to the other party as follows: (a) By the Company, in the event of the Executive's death or Disability (as hereinafter defined) or for Cause (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean either: (i) the indictment of, or the bringing of formal charges against, Executive by a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction for charges involving criminal fraud or embezzlement; or (ii) the conviction of Executive of a crime involving an act or acts of dishonesty, fraud or moral turpitude by the Executive, which act or acts constitute a felony. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the inability of Executive, in the reasonable judgment of a physician appointed by the Board of Directors, to perform his duties of employment for the Company or any of its subsidiaries because of any physical or mental disability or incapacity, where such disability shall exist for an aggregate period of more than 120 days in any 365-day period or for any period of 90 consecutive days. The Company shall by written notice to the Executive specify the event relied upon for termination pursuant to this Subsection 7(a), and Executive's employment hereunder shall be deemed terminated as of the date of such notice. In the event of any termination under this Subsection 7(a), the Company shall pay all amounts then due to the Executive under Section 5 of this Agreement and, if such termination was for Cause, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement. In the event of a termination due to Executive's Disability or death, the Company shall comply with its obligations under Sections 5 and 6. 113 (b) By the Company, for any reason and in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that in such event the Company shall, as liquidated damages or severance pay, or both, continue to pay to Executive the Base Salary (at a monthly rate equal to the rate in effect immediately prior to such termination) for the 6-month period commencing on the date of termination (the "Termination Payments"). For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of the foregoing is that the Company shall pay to Executive ratably, over a 6-month period, the amount of the Base Salary. (c) By the Executive for "Good Reason," which shall be deemed to exist: (i) if the Company's Board of Directors fails to elect or reelect the Executive to, or removes the Executive from, any of the offices referred to in Section 1(a); (ii) if the scope of Executive's duties is significantly reduced (excluding, for this purpose, changes in responsibilities resulting from the growth or shrinkage of the Company's business) (but not excluding changes resulting from a sale of the Company, whether by merger, tender offer or otherwise); (iii) if the Board of Directors shall require that the Executive relocate from the metropolitan area in which he resides as of the date of this Agreement; (iv) if the Company shall have continued to fail to comply with any material provision of this Agreement after a 30-day period to cure (if such failure is curable) following written notice to the Company of such non-compliance; or (v) if the Executive shall cease to be a Director of the Company or its successor without his consent. In the event of any termination under this Section, the Company shall, as liquidated damages or severance pay, or both, pay the Termination Payments to Executive for the 6-month period commencing on the date notice of such termination is given to the Company. (d) In the event of a termination pursuant to Sections 7(b) or 7(c), Executive and his family shall continue to be covered by the Company's life, medical, health and death plans during the period in which Executive continues to receive payments hereunder. Such coverage shall be at the Company's expense to the same extent as if Executive were still employed by the Company. The Company shall also provide to Executive, at the Company's expense, outplacement services of a nature customarily provided to a senior executive. 7. Inventions and Confidential Information. The parties hereto recognize that a major need of the Company is to preserve its specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information. The strength and good will of the Company is derived from the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information generated from experience with the activities undertaken by the Company and its subsidiaries. The disclosure of this information and knowledge to competitors would be beneficial to them and detrimental to the Company, as would the disclosure of information about the marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, design specifications, analytical techniques, and similar items of the Company and its subsidiaries. By reason of his being a senior executive of the Company, the Executive has or will have access to, and has obtained or will obtain, specialized knowledge, trade secrets and confidential information about the Company's operations and the operations of its subsidiaries, which operations extend throughout the United States. Therefore, Executive hereby agrees as follows, recognizing that the Company is relying on these agreements in entering into this Agreement: (a) During and after the Period of Employment (as extended), the Executive will not use, disclose to others, or publish or otherwise make available to any other party any inventions 114 or any confidential business information about the affairs of the Company, including but not limited to confidential information concerning the Company's products, methods, engineering designs and standards, analytical techniques, technical information, customer information, employee information, and other confidential information acquired by him in the course of his past or future services for the Company. Executive agrees to hold as the Company's property all memoranda, books, papers, letters, formulas and other data, and all copies thereof and therefrom, in any way relating to the Company's business and affairs, whether made by him or otherwise coming into his possession, and on termination of his employment, or on demand of the Company, at any time, to deliver the same to the Company within twenty four hours of such termination or demand. (b) During the Period of Employment (as extended) and for one year thereafter, Executive will not induce or otherwise attempt to influence any employee of the Company to leave the Company's employ or hire any such employee (unless the Board of Directors shall have authorized such employment and the Company shall have consented thereto in writing). 8. Indemnification. The Company will indemnify the Executive (and his legal representatives) and will advance any and all costs of defense of the Executive (and his legal representatives) to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Florida, as in effect at the time of the subject act or omission, or the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as in effect at such time or on the date of this Agreement, whichever affords greater protection to the Executive, and the Executive shall be entitled to the protection of any insurance policies the Company may elect to maintain generally for the benefit of its directors and officers, against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever incurred or sustained by him or his legal representative in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he (or his legal representatives or other successors) may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 9. Consolidation; Merger; Sale of Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from combining, consolidating or merging with or into, transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, or entering into a partnership or joint venture with, another corporation or other entity, or effecting any other kind of corporate combination provided that the corporation resulting from or surviving such combination, consolidation or merger, or to which such assets are transferred, or such partnership or joint venture assumes this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder. Upon such a consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be assumed by, and be binding upon such resulting or surviving transferee corporation or such partnership or joint venture, and the term, "Company," as used in this Agreement, shall mean such corporation, partnership or joint venture, or other entity and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall entitle the Executive and his heirs, beneficiaries and representatives to exactly the same compensation, benefits, perquisites, payments and other rights as would have been their entitlement had such combination, consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture not occurred. 115 10. Survival of Obligations. Sections 8, 9, 10, and 11 shall survive the termination for any reason of this Agreement (whether such termination is by the Company, by the Executive, upon the expiration of this Agreement or otherwise). 11. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions or part of a provision contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall be deemed not to affect any other jurisdiction or any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, nor shall such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability affect the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any provision or provisions hereof in any other jurisdiction; and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in such jurisdiction as if such provision or part of a provision held to be invalid or illegal or unenforceable had never been contained herein and such provision or part reformed so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable in such jurisdiction to the maximum extent possible. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and the Executive each intend that the covenants contained in Section 8 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each county of the State of Florida and one for each and every other state, territory or jurisdiction of the United States set forth therein. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of such separate covenants, then such unenforceable covenants shall be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof for the purpose of such proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such proceedings. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any one or more of such separate covenants because the total time thereof is deemed to be excessive or unreasonable, then it is the intent of the parties hereto that such covenants, which would otherwise be unenforceable due to such excessive or unreasonable period of time, be enforced for such lesser period of time as shall be deemed reasonable and not excessive by such court. 12. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may not be amended, waived, changed, modified or discharged except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute all such further instruments and documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement. 18. Headings of No Effect. The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

EX-10 11 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of January 1, 1996 between Medcross, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), and Dorothy L. Michon, an individual resident of Pinellas County, Florida (the "Executive"). WHEREAS, the Executive is a highly valued and trusted employee of the Company; and WHEREAS, the Company desires to offer the Executive continued employment upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and the Executive desires to accept such employment; NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived from this Agreement, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows: I.Term of Employment; Office and Duties. During the Period of Employment (as hereafter defined), the Company shall employ the Executive as a senior executive of the Company with the title of Vice President of Operations with the responsibilities prescribed for such office in the Bylaws of the Company and in such other capacities as the Company may designate, from time to time. During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall devote such portion of her time to the business and affairs of the Company as may be necessary to perform the duties of her office except for vacations, illness or incapacity. The Company shall not require that the Executive be based in any place other than St. Petersburg, Florida, and the Executive shall not be required to perform her duties hereunder for more than 15 working days in any year, or for more than 14 consecutive days at any one time, at any office located in any place other than the aforementioned area. II.Term; Period of Employment Subject to extension or termination as hereinafter provided, the period of employment hereunder shall be for a period of two (2) years ending December 31, 1997 (the "Period of Employment"), provided that the Period of Employment shall be automatically extended for successive one (1) year periods unless written notice to the contrary is given by the Company to the Executive not less than 120 days prior to: (a) the expiration of the initial period in the Period of Employment; and (b) the expiration of each successive year thereafter. III.Compensation and Benefits. For all services rendered by the Vice President of Operations of the Company during the Period of Employment (and any extension thereof), including, without limitation, services as an executive officer, director, or member of any committee of the Company or any subsidiary, affiliate or division thereof, the Executive shall be compensated as follows: 119 (a) Base Salary. Commencing as of the date hereof, the Company shall pay the Executive a fixed salary ("Base Salary") at a rate of: sixty-three thousand dollars ($63,000) per annum. The Board of Directors will periodically review, at least annually, the Executive's Base Salary with a view to increasing it further if, in the sole judgment of the Board of Directors, the earnings of the Company or the services of the Executive merit such an increase. Annual increases in Base Salary, once granted, shall not be subject to revocation and shall become a part of the Base Salary. Base Salary will be payable in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Company, but in no event less frequently than bi-monthly. (b) Bonus. The Company shall pay the Executive an annual bonus if, in the sole judgment of the Board of Directors, the earnings of the Company or the services of the Executive merit such bonus. (c) Fringe Benefits. During the Period of Employment and any extension thereof, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in fringe benefit, deferred compensation, stock benefit and stock option plans or programs of the Company, if any, to the extent that her position, tenure, salary, age, health and other qualifications make her eligible to participate, subject to the rules and regulations applicable thereto. Such additional benefits shall include, but not be limited to, paid sick leave and health insurance, all in accordance with the policies of the Company. The Company shall not make any changes in any existing plan, program or arrangement which would adversely affect the Executive's rights or benefits thereunder. Nothing paid to the Executive under any plan or arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be deemed in lieu of the Base Salary payable to the Executive pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section. (d) Perquisites. During the Period of Employment and any extension thereof, the Executive will be entitled to benefits and perquisites offered to its employees by the Company as determined by the Board of Directors. (e) Vacations. The Executive shall be entitled to the number of vacation days in each calendar year, and to compensation in respect of earned but unused vacation days determined in accordance with the Company's vacation policy. The Executive shall also be entitled to all paid holidays given by the Company to its employees. IV.Business Expenses. During the term of the Executive's employment hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in performing services hereunder, including all expenses of travel and living expenses while away from home on business or at the request of and in the service of the Company, provided that such expenses are incurred and accounted for in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors. V.Disability. The Company shall provide the Executive with substantially the same disability insurance benefits as being provided by the Company for senior executives. In the event of the Executive's Disability (as hereinafter defined), the Executive shall continue to receive her full salary at the rate 120 then in effect for such period of disability, provided that payments so made to the Executive during the first three months of the disability period shall be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, payable to the Executive at or prior to the time of such payment under disability benefit plans of the Company and which were not previously applied to reduce any such payment. In addition, the Executive shall continue to be covered by all of the Company's life, medical, health and dental plans, at the Company's expense, for the term of such disability. VI.Death. During the Period of Employment and extensions thereof, the Company shall provide term life insurance on the life of the Executive with a death benefit of at least $50,000. The Executive shall designate the beneficiary of such policy, such beneficiary subject to change from time to time by the Executive. In the event of the Executive's death, the Company shall pay to the Executive's spouse, or if she leaves no spouse, to her estate, the Executive's base salary to the date of death. The Executive's family shall continue to be covered by all of the Company's life, medical, health and dental plans, at the Company's expense, for twelve (12) months following the Executive's death. VII.Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Executive's employment with the Company may be terminated upon written notice to the other party as follows: (a) By the Company, in the event of the Executive's death or Disability (as hereinafter defined) or for Cause (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean either: (i) the indictment of, or the bringing of formal charges against, Executive by a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction for charges involving criminal fraud or embezzlement; or (ii) the conviction of Executive of a crime involving an act or acts of dishonesty, fraud or moral turpitude by the Executive, which act or acts constitute a felony. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the inability of Executive, in the reasonable judgment of a physician appointed by the Board of Directors, to perform her duties of employment for the Company or any of its subsidiaries because of any physical or mental disability or incapacity, where such disability shall exist for an aggregate period of more than 120 days in any 365-day period or for any period of 90 consecutive days. The Company shall by written notice to the Executive specify the event relied upon for termination pursuant to this Subsection 7(a), and Executive's employment hereunder shall be deemed terminated as of the date of such notice. In the event of any termination under this Subsection 7(a), the Company shall pay all amounts then due to the Executive under Section 5 of this Agreement and, if such termination was for Cause, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement. In the event of a termination due to Executive's Disability or death, the Company shall comply with its obligations under Sections 5 and 6. (b) By the Company, for any reason and in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that in such event the Company shall, as liquidated damages or severance pay, or both, continue to pay to Executive the Base Salary (at a monthly rate equal to the rate in effect immediately prior to such termination) for the 3-month period commencing on the date of termination (the "Termination Payments"). For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of the foregoing is that the Company shall pay to Executive ratably, over a 3-month period, the amount of the Base Salary. 121 (c) By the Executive for "Good Reason," which shall be deemed to exist: (i) if the Company's Board of Directors fails to elect or reelect the Executive to, or removes the Executive from, any of the offices referred to in Section 1(a); (ii) if the scope of Executive's duties is significantly reduced (excluding, for this purpose, changes in responsibilities resulting from the growth or shrinkage of the Company's business) (but not excluding changes resulting from a sale of the Company, whether by merger, tender offer or otherwise); (iii) if the Board of Directors shall require that the Executive relocate from the metropolitan area in which she resides as of the date of this Agreement; or (iv) if the Company shall have continued to fail to comply with any material provision of this Agreement after a 30-day period to cure (if such failure is curable) following written notice to the Company of such non-compliance. In the event of any termination under this Section, the Company shall, as liquidated damages or severance pay, or both, pay the Termination Payments to Executive for the 3-month period commencing on the date notice of such termination is given to the Company. (d) In the event of a termination pursuant to Sections 7(b) or 7(c), Executive and her family shall continue to be covered by the Company's life, medical, health and death plans at the Company's expense to the same extent as if Executive were still employed by the Company, and the Company shall provide to Executive, at the Company's expense, outplacement services of a nature customarily provided to a senior executive. VIII.Inventions and Confidential Information. The parties hereto recognize that a major need of the Company is to preserve its specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information. The strength and good will of the Company is derived from the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information generated from experience with the activities undertaken by the Company and its subsidiaries. The disclosure of this information and knowledge to competitors would be beneficial to them and detrimental to the Company, as would the disclosure of information about the marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, design specifications, analytical techniques, and similar items of the Company and its subsidiaries. By reason of her being a senior executive of the Company, the Executive has or will have access to, and has obtained or will obtain, specialized knowledge, trade secrets and confidential information about the Company's operations and the operations of its subsidiaries, which operations extend throughout the United States. Therefore, Executive hereby agrees as follows, recognizing that the Company is relying on these agreements in entering into this Agreement: (a) During and after the Period of Employment (as extended), the Executive will not use, disclose to others, or publish or otherwise make available to any other party any inventions or any confidential business information about the affairs of the Company, including but not limited to confidential information concerning the Company's products, methods, engineering designs and standards, analytical techniques, technical information, customer information, employee information, and other confidential information acquired by her in the course of her past or future services for the Company. Executive agrees to hold as the Company's property all memoranda, books, papers, letters, formulas and other data, and all copies thereof and therefrom, in any way relating to the Company's business and affairs, whether made by her or otherwise coming into her possession, and on termination of her employment, or on demand of the Company, at any time, to deliver the same 122 to the Company within twenty four hours of such termination or demand. (b) During the Period of Employment (as extended) and for one year thereafter, Executive will not induce or otherwise attempt to influence any employee of the Company to leave the Company's employ or hire any such employee (unless the Board of Directors shall have authorized such employment and the Company shall have consented thereto in writing). IX.Indemnification. The Company will indemnify the Executive (and her legal representatives) and will advance any and all costs of defense of the Executive (and her legal representatives) to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Florida, as in effect at the time of the subject act or omission, or the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as in effect at such time or on the date of this Agreement, whichever affords greater protection to the Executive, and the Executive shall be entitled to the protection of any insurance policies the Company may elect to maintain generally for the benefit of its directors and officers, against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever incurred or sustained by her or her legal representative in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which she (or her legal representatives or other successors) may be made a party by reason of her being or having been a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 10. Consolidation; Merger; Sale of Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from combining, consolidating or merging with or into, transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, or entering into a partnership or joint venture with, another corporation or other entity, or effecting any other kind of corporate combination provided that the corporation resulting from or surviving such combination, consolidation or merger, or to which such assets are transferred, or such partnership or joint venture assumes this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder. Upon such a consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be assumed by, and be binding upon such resulting or surviving transferee corporation or such partnership or joint venture, and the term, "Company," as used in this Agreement, shall mean such corporation, partnership or joint venture, or other entity and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall entitle the Executive and her heirs, beneficiaries and representatives to exactly the same compensation, benefits, perquisites, payments and other rights as would have been their entitlement had such combination, consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture not occurred. 11. Survival of Obligations. Sections 8, 9, 10, and 11 shall survive the termination for any reason of this Agreement (whether such termination is by the Company, by the Executive, upon the expiration of this Agreement or otherwise). 12. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions or part of a provision contained in this Agreement 123 shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall be deemed not to affect any other jurisdiction or any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, nor shall such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability affect the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any provision or provisions hereof in any other jurisdiction; and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in such jurisdiction as if such provision or part of a provision held to be invalid or illegal or unenforceable had never been contained herein and such provision or part reformed so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable in such jurisdiction to the maximum extent possible. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and the Executive each intend that the covenants contained in Section 8 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each county of the State of Florida and one for each and every other state, territory or jurisdiction of the United States set forth therein. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of such separate covenants, then such unenforceable covenants shall be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof for the purpose of such proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such proceedings. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any one or more of such separate covenants because the total time thereof is deemed to be excessive or unreasonable, then it is the intent of the parties hereto that such covenants, which would otherwise be unenforceable due to such excessive or unreasonable period of time, be enforced for such lesser period of time as shall be deemed reasonable and not excessive by such court. 13. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may not be amended, waived, changed, modified or discharged except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. No course of conduct or dealing shall be construed to modify, amend or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. 14. Notices. All notices, request, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if physically delivered, delivered by express mail or other expedited service or upon receipt if mailed, postage prepaid, via first class mail as follows: (1) To the Company: (2) To the Executive: Medcross, Inc.

Suite 400 Washington, D.C. 20036 and/or to such other persons and addresses as any party shall have specified in writing to the other. 15. Arbitration. (a) Any controversy or claim brought by the Executive in her capacity as a present or former securityholder or an employee or officer, against the Company, arising out of or relating to any acts or omissions of the Company, or any of its officers, directors, agents, affiliates, associates, employees or controlling persons (including without limitation any controversy or claim relating to a purchase or sale of securities of the Company) shall be settled by binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then in effect and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any controversy or claim brought by the Company against the Executive, whether in her capacity as an officer, director, employee or present or former securityholder of the Company shall also be settled by arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. (b) The arbitration of any dispute pursuant to this Section 15 shall be held in St. Petersburg, Florida. (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing in order to preserve the status quo pending the resolution by arbitration of a claim seeking relief of an injunctive or equitable nature, any party, upon submitting a matter to arbitration as required by this Section 15, may simultaneously or thereafter seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction pending the outcome of the arbitration. (4) The Executive acknowledges that this Section 15 limits a number of the Executive's rights, including without limitation (i) the right to have claims resolved in a court of law and before a jury; (ii) certain discovery rights; and (iii) the right to appeal any decision. 16. Assignability. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Executive, but it shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, her heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. This Agreement shall be assignable by the Company. 125 17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Florida. 18. Waiver and Further Agreement. Any waiver of any breach of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach of such terms or conditions or any other term or condition, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute all such further instruments and documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement. 19. Headings of No Effect. The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

In the event of any termination under this Subsection 7(a), the Company shall pay all amounts then due to the Executive under Section 5 of this Agreement and, if such termination was for Cause, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement. In the event of a termination due to Executive's Disability or death, the Company shall comply with its obligations under Sections 5 and 6. (b) By the Company, for any reason and in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that in such event the Company shall, as liquidated damages or severance pay, or both, continue to pay to Executive the Base Salary (at a monthly rate equal to the rate in effect immediately prior to such termination) for the 3-month period commencing on the date of termination (the "Termination 129 Payments"). For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of the foregoing is that the Company shall pay to Executive ratably, over a 3-month period, the amount of the Base Salary. (c) By the Executive for "Good Reason," which shall be deemed to exist: (i) if the Company's Board of Directors fails to elect or reelect the Executive to, or removes the Executive from, any of the offices referred to in Section 1(a); (ii) if the scope of Executive's duties is significantly reduced (excluding, for this purpose, changes in responsibilities resulting from the growth or shrinkage of the Company's business) (but not excluding changes resulting from a sale of the Company, whether by merger, tender offer or otherwise); (iii) if the Board of Directors shall require that the Executive relocate from the metropolitan area in which she resides as of the date of this Agreement; or (iv) if the Company shall have continued to fail to comply with any material provision of this Agreement after a 30-day period to cure (if such failure is curable) following written notice to the Company of such non-compliance. In the event of any termination under this Section, the Company shall, as liquidated damages or severance pay, or both, pay the Termination Payments to Executive for the 3-month period commencing on the date notice of such termination is given to the Company. (d) In the event of a termination pursuant to Sections 7(b) or 7(c), Executive and her family shall continue to be covered by the Company's life, medical, health and death plans at the Company's expense to the same extent as if Executive were still employed by the Company, and the Company shall provide to Executive, at the Company's expense, outplacement services of a nature customarily provided to a senior executive. 8. Inventions and Confidential Information. The parties hereto recognize that a major need of the Company is to preserve its specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information. The strength and good will of the Company is derived from the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information generated from experience with the activities undertaken by the Company and its subsidiaries. The disclosure of this information and knowledge to competitors would be beneficial to them and detrimental to the Company, as would the disclosure of information about the marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, design specifications, analytical techniques, and similar items of the Company and its subsidiaries. By reason of her being a senior executive of the Company, the Executive has or will have access to, and has obtained or will obtain, specialized knowledge, trade secrets and confidential information about the Company's operations and the operations of its subsidiaries, which operations extend throughout the United States. Therefore, Executive hereby agrees as follows, recognizing that the Company is relying on these agreements in entering into this Agreement: (a) During and after the Period of Employment (as extended), the Executive will not use, disclose to others, or publish or otherwise make available to any other party any inventions or any confidential business information about the affairs of the Company, including but not limited to confidential information concerning the Company's products, methods, engineering designs and standards, analytical techniques, technical information, customer information, employee information, and other confidential information acquired by her in the course of her past or future services for the Company. Executive agrees to hold as the Company's property all memoranda, books, papers, letters, formulas and other data, and all copies thereof and therefrom, in any way relating to the Company's business and affairs, whether made by her or otherwise coming into her possession, and 130 on termination of her employment, or on demand of the Company, at any time, to deliver the same to the Company within twenty four hours of such termination or demand. (b) During the Period of Employment (as extended) and for one year thereafter, Executive will not induce or otherwise attempt to influence any employee of the Company to leave the Company's employ or hire any such employee (unless the Board of Directors shall have authorized such employment and the Company shall have consented thereto in writing). 9. Indemnification. The Company will indemnify the Executive (and her legal representatives) and will advance any and all costs of defense of the Executive (and her legal representatives) to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Florida, as in effect at the time of the subject act or omission, or the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as in effect at such time or on the date of this Agreement, whichever affords greater protection to the Executive, and the Executive shall be entitled to the protection of any insurance policies the Company may elect to maintain generally for the benefit of its directors and officers, against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever incurred or sustained by her or her legal representative in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which she (or her legal representatives or other successors) may be made a party by reason of her being or having been a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 10. Consolidation; Merger; Sale of Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from combining, consolidating or merging with or into, transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, or entering into a partnership or joint venture with, another corporation or other entity, or effecting any other kind of corporate combination provided that the corporation resulting from or surviving such combination, consolidation or merger, or to which such assets are transferred, or such partnership or joint venture assumes this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder. Upon such a consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be assumed by, and be binding upon such resulting or surviving transferee corporation or such partnership or joint venture, and the term, "Company," as used in this Agreement, shall mean such corporation, partnership or joint venture, or other entity and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall entitle the Executive and her heirs, beneficiaries and representatives to exactly the same compensation, benefits, perquisites, payments and other rights as would have been their entitlement had such combination, consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture not occurred. 11. Survival of Obligations. Sections 8, 9, 10, and 11 shall survive the termination for any reason of this Agreement (whether such termination is by the Company, by the Executive, upon the expiration of this Agreement or otherwise). 12. Severability. 131 In case any one or more of the provisions or part of a provision contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall be deemed not to affect any other jurisdiction or any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, nor shall such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability affect the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any provision or provisions hereof in any other jurisdiction; and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in such jurisdiction as if such provision or part of a provision held to be invalid or illegal or unenforceable had never been contained herein and such provision or part reformed so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable in such jurisdiction to the maximum extent possible. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and the Executive each intend that the covenants contained in Section 8 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each county of the State of Florida and one for each and every other state, territory or jurisdiction of the United States set forth therein. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of such separate covenants, then such unenforceable covenants shall be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof for the purpose of such proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such proceedings. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any one or more of such separate covenants because the total time thereof is deemed to be excessive or unreasonable, then it is the intent of the parties hereto that such covenants, which would otherwise be unenforceable due to such excessive or unreasonable period of time, be enforced for such lesser period of time as shall be deemed reasonable and not excessive by such court. 13. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may not be amended, waived, changed, modified or discharged except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. No course of conduct or dealing shall be construed to modify, amend or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. 14. Notices. All notices, request, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if physically delivered, delivered by express mail or other expedited service or upon receipt if mailed, postage prepaid, via first class mail as follows: To the Company: (e) To the Executive: Medcross, Inc. Stephanie Giallourakis 3227 Bennet Street North 1545 Pleasant Grove Drive St. Petersburg, FL 33713 Dunedin, FL 34698 with an additional copy by like means to: De Martino Finkelstein Rosen & Virga 1818 N Street, N.W. 132 Suite 400 Washington, D.C. 20036 and/or to such other persons and addresses as any party shall have specified in writing to the other. 15. Arbitration. (a) Any controversy or claim brought by the Executive in her capacity as a present or former securityholder or an employee or officer, against the Company, arising out of or relating to any acts or omissions of the Company, or any of its officers, directors, agents, affiliates, associates, employees or controlling persons (including without limitation any controversy or claim relating to a purchase or sale of securities of the Company) shall be settled by binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then in effect and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any controversy or claim brought by the Company against the Executive, whether in her capacity as an officer, director, employee or present or former securityholder of the Company shall also be settled by arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. (b) The arbitration of any dispute pursuant to this Section 15 shall be held in St. Petersburg, Florida. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing in order to preserve the status quo pending the resolution by arbitration of a claim seeking relief of an injunctive or equitable nature, any party, upon submitting a matter to arbitration as required by this Section 15, may simultaneously or thereafter seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction pending the outcome of the arbitration. (d) The Executive acknowledges that this Section 15 limits a number of the Executive's rights, including without limitation (i) the right to have claims resolved in a court of law and before a jury; (ii) certain discovery rights; and (iii) the right to appeal any decision. 16. Assignability. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Executive, but it shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, her heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. This Agreement shall be assignable by the Company. 17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Florida. 133 18. Waiver and Further Agreement. Any waiver of any breach of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach of such terms or conditions or any other term or condition, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute all such further instruments and documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement. 19. Headings of No Effect. The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 134 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of a certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and between Medcross, Inc. ("Medcross") and ILINK, Ltd. ("ILINK"), Medcross is acquiring all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company from ILINK; WHEREAS, in connection with Medcross' acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company and pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to enter into this Agreement with the Employee to provide for employment of the Employee as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company; WHEREAS, the Employee has been a highly valued and trusted employee of ILINK and the Company; WHEREAS, it is therefore the desire of the Company to offer the Employee employment with the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Employee to accept the Company's offer of employment with the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein and for such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 1. Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ the Employee and the Employee hereby agrees to be employed by the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the period of employment as set forth in Section 2 hereof (the "Period of Employment"). 2. Term; Period of Employment. Subject to extension or termination as hereinafter provided, the Period of Employment hereunder shall be from the date hereof (the "Effective Date") through the third anniversary of the Effective Date and shall continue thereafter until terminated by either party. 136 3. Office and Duties. During the Period of Employment: (a) the Company shall employ the Employee as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company with the responsibilities reasonably prescribed for such position by the Board of Directors of the Company; and (b) the Company shall cause Employee to be elected a director of the Company; and (c) the Employee shall devote substantially all of his working time to the business and affairs of the Company; except (i) for vacations of two (2) weeks per year, (ii) illness or (iii) incapacity. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Employee from devoting reasonable amounts of time: (i) for serving as a director or member of a committee of any organization or entity involving no conflict of interest with the Company; or (ii) engaging in charitable and community activities; provided, however, that such activities do not interfere with the performance by the Employee of his duties hereunder. In consideration of such employment, the Employee agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or as a member of any partnership or joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, employee or agent of any other person, firm, corporation, business organization or other entity, engage in any trade or business activity or pursuit for his own account or for, or on behalf of, any other person, firm, corporation, business organization or other entity, irrespective of whether the same competes, conflicts or interferes with that of the Company or the performance of the Employee's obligations hereunder; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent the Employee from investing in the stock of any corporation, which does not compete with the Company, which is listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market if the Employee does not and will not as a result of such investment own more than five percent (5%) of the stock of such corporation ("Permitted Investments"). The Employee represents and warrants that he is not party to any agreement, oral or written, which restricts in any way: (a) his ability to perform his obligations hereunder; or (b) his right to compete with a previous employer or such employer's business. 4. Compensation and Benefits. In exchange for the services rendered by the Employee pursuant hereto in any capacity during the Period of Employment, including without limitation, services as an officer, director, or member of any committee of the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof, the Employee shall be compensated as follows: (a) Compensation. The Company shall pay the Employee compensation equal to at least Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($95,000) per annum as it may be adjusted herein below ("Salary") at a rate of Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Sixteen Dollars and Sixty-Seven Cents ($7,916.67) per month (such monthly amount as the same may be increased from time to time by virtue of the adjustments set forth hereinbelow shall be defined as the "Monthly Compensation"). Such salary shall be increased prospectively effective upon the satisfaction of the following performance criteria by the Company: the Salary shall be increased and be payable at the annualized rate of One Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($130,000) per annum effective at the 137 beginning of the fiscal quarter next succeeding that fiscal quarter in which the number of the Company's subscribers equals or exceeds 25,000 or the Company's Monthly Net Revenue therefrom equals or exceeds $250,000; thereafter, the Salary shall increase such that it will be payable at the annualized rate of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) effective at the beginning of the fiscal quarter next succeeding that fiscal quarter in which the number of Company's subscribers equals or exceeds 50,000 or the Company's Monthly Net Revenue therefrom equals or exceeds $500,000; thereafter the Salary shall increase such that it will be payable at the annualized rate of One Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($180,000) effective at the beginning of that fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter in which the number of the Company's subscribers equals or exceeds 75,000 or the Company's Monthly Net Revenue therefrom equals or exceeds $750,000. Such Salary shall be payable in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Company. "Monthly Net Revenue" shall be defined as net revenue of the Company for a calendar month determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and consistent with past practices. (b) Profitability Bonus. The Company may pay the Employee a bonus if, in the sole judgment of the Board of Directors, the earnings of the Company or the services of the Employee merit such a bonus. In the event that the Company is profitable, the Company shall pay Employee a bonus at least equal to 10% of his other compensation. (c) Withholding and Employment Tax. Payment of all compensation hereunder shall be subject to customary withholding tax and other employment taxes as may be required with respect to compensation paid by an employer/corporation to an employee. 5. Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Employee for all reasonable travel or other expenses incurred by the Employee in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement, provided that the same are incurred, in accordance with such procedures as the Company may from time to time establish for employees and as required to preserve any deductions for federal income taxation purposes to which the Company may be entitled. 6. Other Benefits The Company shall provide the Employee health insurance for the Employee and his dependents, life insurance, and disability insurance benefits and such other benefits as are generally provided to executive officers of the Company. The Employee shall have the right to participate in any and all Company stock option, stock purchase and similar plans currently in effect or hereafter adopted for which he is eligible. 7. Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, employment hereunder may be terminated: (a) By the Company, in the event of the employee's death or Disability or for "Just Cause." "Just Cause" shall be defined to include: (i) the Employee's indictment of a crime constituting a felony or conviction of a crime involving an act or acts of dishonesty, fraud or moral turpitude; or (ii) violation of any material Company policy or failure to observe any directive of the Board of Directors. The Employee shall be deemed to have a "Disability" for purposes of this Agreement if he is unable to perform, by reason of physical or mental incapacity, his duties or obligations under this Agreement for a total period of ninety (90) days in any 365-day period. The Board of Directors shall determine whether and when the Disability of the Employee has occurred and such determination shall not be arbitrary or unreasonable. The Company shall by written 138 notice to the Employee given within thirty (30) days after discovery of the occurrence of an event or circumstance which constitutes "Just Cause," specify the event or circumstance giving rise to the Company's exercise of its right under Section 8(a) and, with respect to Just Cause arising under Section 8(a)(i), the Employee's employment hereunder shall be deemed terminated as of the date of such notice; with respect to Just Cause arising under Sections 8(a)(ii) the Company shall provide the Employee with thirty (30) days written notice of such violation or failure and the Employee shall be given reasonable opportunity during such thirty (30) day period to cure the subject violation or failure; or (b) By the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that in such event the Company shall, as liquidated damages or severance pay, or both, pay to the Employee an amount equal to the Employee's Monthly Compensation (as defined in Section 4(a) hereof) for the remaining term hereof (the "Remaining Compensation"). In addition, all of the Employee's options shall vest and all Common Stock of Medcross held in escrow pursuant to an Escrow Agreement dated the date hereof between ILINK and De Martino Finkelstein Rosen & Virga shall be released; or (c) By the Employee, upon any violation of any material provision of this Agreement by the Company, which violation remains unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of the same is delivered to the Company by the Employee or in the event of a "Change In Control" as defined in Section 9(b) hereof, provided that in such event, the Company shall, as liquidated damages or severance pay, or both, pay to the Employee the Remaining Compensation. In addition, all of the Employee's options shall vest and all Common Stock of Medcross held in escrow pursuant to an Escrow Agreement dated the date hereof between ILINK and De Martino Finkelstein Rosen & Virga shall be released; or (d) Failure to timely make more than one monthly payment of Remaining Compensation under Section 8(b) or (c) hereof shall result in the Company being obligated to pay the balance of the Remaining Compensation to the Employee in a lump sum distribution. 8. Non-Competition. Notwithstanding any earlier termination, during the Period of Employment and for one (1) year thereafter: (a) the Employee shall not, anywhere in North America or in any other place or venue where the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof now conducts or operates, or may conduct or operate its business in the future, directly or indirectly, individually or as a member of any partnership or joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, employee or agent of any other person, firm, corporation, business organization or other entity, participate in, engage in, solicit or have any financial or other interest in any activity or any business or other enterprise in the field of marketing, distribution, sale, production, research or development of Internet related access services or any services or products using the Internet as a means of delivery, or in any other field which is or may be reasonably expected to become competitive with the current or contemplated business of the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof (unless the Board of Directors shall have authorized such activity and the Company shall have consented thereto in writing), as an individual or as a member of any partnership or joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, investor, employee or agent of any other person, firm, 139 corporation, business organization or other entity; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent the employee from investing in Permitted Investments; and (b) the Employee shall not: (i) solicit or induce any employee of the Company to terminate his employment or otherwise leave the Company's employ or hire any such employee (unless the Board of Directors shall have authorized such employment and the Company shall have consented thereto in writing); or (ii) contact, service or solicit any clients, customers, vendors, suppliers or other accounts of the Company, either as an individual or as a member of any partnership or joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, investor, employee or agent of any other person, firm, corporation, business organization or other entity; provided however, that the provisions of this Section 9 shall be of no force and effect in the event of a Change of Control. A "Change In Control" shall be deemed to occur in the event that prior to December 31, 1997 any person or "group" (as that term is construed for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 13d-3")), other than such persons or groups that currently are or by virtue of the transactions contemplated in that certain Private Placement Memorandum of Medcross dated February 5, 1996 (as amended and supplemented), may be deemed to be "affiliate(s)" of the Company (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), obtain "beneficial ownership" of 51% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Medcross, Inc.'s Common Stock as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3. A Change in Control shall also be deemed to occur if: (a) Medcross, Inc. is merged into another corporation and, after such merger, the voting securities of Medcross outstanding immediately prior to such merger represent less than 75% of the voting securities of the surviving corporation, (b) Medcross does not continue to own at least 75% of outstanding stock of the Company, or (c) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold. 9. Confidential Information. The parties hereto recognize that it is fundamental to the business and operation of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof to preserve the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information of the foregoing concerning the Internet services industry. The strength and good will of the Company is derived from the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information generated from experience through the activities undertaken by the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof. The disclosure of any of such information and the knowledge thereof on the part of competitors would be beneficial to such competitors and detrimental to the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, as would the disclosure of information about the marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, design specifications, analytical techniques, concepts, ideas, process developments (whether or not patentable), customer and client agreements, vendor and supplier agreements and similar items or technologies. By reason of his being an employee of the Company, in the course of his employment, the Employee has or shall have access to, and has obtained or shall obtain, specialized knowledge, trade secrets and confidential information such as that described herein about the business and operation of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof. Therefore, the Employee hereby agrees as follows, recognizing and acknowledging that the Company is relying on the following in entering into this Agreement: (a) The Employee hereby sells, transfers and assigns to the Company, or to any person or entity designated by the Company, any and all right, title and interest of the Employee in and to all inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements, whether patented or unpatented, and copyrightable material, made or conceived by the Employee solely or jointly, in whole or in part, 140 during the term hereof which: (i) relate to methods, apparatus, designs, products, processes or devices distributed, sold, leased, used or under construction or development by the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof; or (ii) otherwise relate to or pertain to the business, operations or affairs of the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof. The Company shall acquire all right, title and interest to the Employee's inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements including Faxlink whether made or conceived during the term hereof or before; provided however that the Company shall acquire no right, title or interest to the Employee's inventions, ideas, disclosure and improvement relating to Voicelink, whether made or conceived during the term hereof or before, the parties expressly acknowledging that all such right, title and interest is retained by the Employee. The Employee shall make adequate written records of all inventions (which records shall be the Company's property) and shall communicate promptly and disclose to the Company, in such form as the Company requests, all information, details and data pertaining to such inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements. Whether during the Period of Employment or thereafter, the Employee shall execute and deliver to the Company such formal transfers and assignments and such other papers and documents as may be required of the Employee to permit the Company or any person or entity designated by the Company to file, enforce and prosecute the patent applications relating to any of the foregoing and, as to copyrightable material, to obtain copyright thereon; and (b) Notwithstanding any earlier termination, during the Period of Employment and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Employee shall keep secret and retain in strict confidence, and shall not, except in furtherance of the Company's business, use, disclose to others, or publish any information, other than information which is in the public domain or becomes publicly available through no wrongful act on the part of the Employee, which information shall be deemed not to be confidential information, relating to the business, operation or other affairs of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, including but not limited to confidential information concerning the marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, products, methods, guidelines, procedures, engineering designs and standards, design specifications, analytical techniques, technical information, customer, client, vendor or supplier information, employee information, and any and all other confidential information acquired by him in the course of his past or future services for the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof. The Employee shall hold as the Company's property all notes, memoranda, books, records, papers, letters, formulas and other data and all copies thereof and therefrom in any way relating to the business, operation or other affairs of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, whether made by him or otherwise coming into his possession. Upon termination of his employment or upon the demand of the Company, at any time, the Employee shall deliver the same to the Company within twenty-four (24) hours of such termination or demand. 10. Reasonableness of Restrictions. The Employee hereby agrees that the restrictions in this Agreement, including without limitation, those relating to the duration of the provisions hereof and the territory to which such restrictions apply, are necessary and fundamental to the protection of the business and operation of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, and are reasonable and valid, and all defenses to the strict enforcement thereof by the Employee are hereby waived by the Employee. 11. Reformation. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the non-compete or the confidentiality provisions hereof are unreasonably broad or otherwise unenforceable because of the length of their respective terms or the breadth of their territorial 141 scope, or for any other reason, the parties hereto agree that such court may reform the terms and/or scope of such covenants so that the same are reasonable and, as reformed, shall be enforceable. 12. Remedies. Subject to Section 14 below, in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall provide written notice of such breach to the breaching party. The breaching party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice in which to cure its breach. If, on the thirty-first (31st) day after receipt of such notice, the breaching party shall have failed to cure such breach, the non-breaching party thereafter shall be entitled to seek damages. It is acknowledged that this Agreement is of a unique nature and of extraordinary value and of such a character that a breach hereof by the Employee shall result in irreparable damage and injury to the Company for which the Company may not have any adequate remedy at law. Therefore, if, on the thirty-first (31st) day after receipt of such notice, the breaching party shall have failed to cure such breach, the non-breaching party shall also be entitled to seek a decree of specific performance against the breaching party, or such other relief by way of restraining order, injunction or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with this Agreement. The remedies provided by this Section 13 are non-exclusive and the pursuit of such remedies shall not in any way limit any other remedy available to the parties with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any remedy available at law or equity with respect to any anticipatory or threatened breach of the provisions hereof. 13. Certain Provisions; Specific Performance. In the event of a breach by the Employee of the non-competition or confidentiality provisions hereof, such breach shall not be subject to the cure provision of Section 13 above and the Company shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief and a decree of specific performance against the Employee. Such remedy is non-exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy to which the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof may be entitled. Monetary breaches by the Company shall not be subject to the notice and cure provisions hereunder. 14. Consolidation; Merger; Sale of Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from combining, consolidating or merging with or into, transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, or entering into a partnership or joint venture with, another corporation or other entity, or effecting any other kind of corporate combination, provided that, the corporation resulting from or surviving such combination, consolidation or merger, or to which such assets are transferred, or such partnership or joint venture assumes this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder.

The Board of Directors shall determine whether and when the Disability of the Employee has occurred and such determination shall not be arbitrary or unreasonable. The Company shall by written notice to the Employee given within thirty (30) days after discovery of the occurrence of an event or circumstance which constitutes "Just Cause," 147 specify the event or circumstance giving rise to the Company's exercise of its right under Section 8(a) and, with respect to Just Cause arising under Section 8(a)(i), the Employee's employment hereunder shall be deemed terminated as of the date of such notice; with respect to Just Cause arising under Sections 8(a)(ii) the Company shall provide the Employee with thirty (30) days written notice of such violation or failure and the Employee shall be given reasonable opportunity during such thirty (30) day period to comply with the subject directive or cure the subject violation or failure; or (b) By the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that in such event the Company shall, as liquidated damages or severance pay, or both, pay to the Employee an amount equal to the Employee's Monthly Compensation (as defined in Section 4(a) hereof) for the remaining term hereof (the "Remaining Compensation").

Non-Competition. Notwithstanding any earlier termination, during the Period of Employment and for one (1) year thereafter: (a) the Employee shall not, anywhere in North America or in any other place or venue where the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof now conducts or operates, or may conduct or operate its business in the future, directly or indirectly, individually or as a member of any partnership or joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, employee or agent of any other person, firm, corporation, business organization or other entity, participate in, engage in, solicit or have any financial or other interest in any activity or any business or other enterprise in the field of marketing, distribution, sale, production, research or development of Internet related access services or any services or products using the Internet as a means of delivery or in any other field which is or may be reasonably expected to become competitive with the current or contemplated business of the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof (unless the Board of Directors shall have authorized such activity and the Company shall have consented thereto in writing), as an individual or as a member of any partnership or joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, investor, employee or agent of any other person, firm, 148 corporation, business organization or other entity; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent the employee from investing in Permitted Investments; and (b) the Employee shall not: (i) solicit or induce any employee of the Company to terminate his employment or otherwise leave the Company's employ or hire any such employee (unless the Board of Directors shall have authorized such employment and the Company shall have consented thereto in writing); or (ii) contact, service or solicit any clients, customers, vendors, suppliers or other accounts of the Company, either as an individual or as a member of any partnership or joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, investor, employee or agent of any other person, firm, corporation, business organization or other entity; provided however, that the provisions of this Section 9 shall be of no force and effect in the event of a Change of Control. A "Change In Control" shall be deemed to occur in the event that prior to December 31, 1997 any person or "group" (as that term is construed for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 13d-3")), other than such persons or groups that currently are or by virtue of the transactions contemplated in that certain Private Placement Memorandum of Medcross dated February 5, 1996 (as amended and supplemented), may be deemed to be "affiliate(s)" of the Company (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), obtain "beneficial ownership" of 51% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Medcross, Inc.'s Common Stock as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3.

Confidential Information. The parties hereto recognize that it is fundamental to the business and operation of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof to preserve the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information of the foregoing concerning the Internet services industry. The strength and good will of the Company is derived from the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information generated from experience through the activities undertaken by the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof. The disclosure of any of such information and the knowledge thereof on the part of competitors would be beneficial to such competitors and detrimental to the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, as would the disclosure of information about the marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, design specifications, analytical techniques, concepts, ideas, process developments (whether or not patentable), customer and client agreements, vendor and supplier agreements and similar items or technologies. By reason of his being an employee of the Company, in the course of his employment, the Employee has or shall have access to, and has obtained or shall obtain, specialized knowledge, trade secrets and confidential information such as that described herein about the business and operation of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof. Therefore, the Employee hereby agrees as follows, recognizing and acknowledging that the Company is relying on the following in entering into this Agreement: (a) The Employee hereby sells, transfers and assigns to the Company, or to any person or entity designated by the Company, any and all right, title and interest of the Employee in and to all inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements, whether patented or unpatented, and 149 copyrightable material, made or conceived by the Employee solely or jointly, in whole or in part, during the term hereof which: (i) relate to methods, apparatus, designs, products, processes or devices distributed, sold, leased, used or under construction or development by the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof; or (ii) otherwise relate to or pertain to the business, operations or affairs of the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof. The Company shall acquire all right, title and interest to the Employee's inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements including Faxlink whether made or conceived during the term hereof or before; provided however that the Company shall acquire no right, title or interest to the Employee's inventions, ideas, disclosure and improvement relating to Voicelink, whether made or conceived during the term hereof or before, the parties expressly acknowledging that all such right, title and interest is retained by the Employee. The Employee shall make adequate written records of all inventions (which records shall be the Company's property) and shall communicate promptly and disclose to the Company, in such form as the Company requests, all information, details and data pertaining to such inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements. Whether during the Period of Employment or thereafter, the Employee shall execute and deliver to the Company such formal transfers and assignments and such other papers and documents as may be required of the Employee to permit the Company or any person or entity designated by the Company to file, enforce and prosecute the patent applications relating to any of the foregoing and, as to copyrightable material, to obtain copyright thereon; and (b) Notwithstanding any earlier termination, during the Period of Employment and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Employee shall keep secret and retain in strict confidence, and shall not, except in furtherance of the Company's business, use, disclose to others, or publish any information, other than information which is in the public domain or becomes publicly available through no wrongful act on the part of the Employee, which information shall be deemed not to be confidential information, relating to the business, operation or other affairs of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, including but not limited to confidential information concerning the marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, products, methods, guidelines, procedures, engineering designs and standards, design specifications, analytical techniques, technical information, customer, client, vendor or supplier information, employee information, and any and all other confidential information acquired by him in the course of his past or future services for the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof. The Employee shall hold as the Company's property all notes, memoranda, books, records, papers, letters, formulas and other data and all copies thereof and therefrom in any way relating to the business, operation or other affairs of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, whether made by him or otherwise coming into his possession. Upon termination of his employment or upon the demand of the Company, at any time, the Employee shall deliver the same to the Company within twenty-four (24) hours of such termination or demand. 10. Reasonableness of Restrictions. The Employee hereby agrees that the restrictions in this Agreement, including without limitation, those relating to the duration of the provisions hereof and the territory to which such restrictions apply, are necessary and fundamental to the protection of the business and operation of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, and are reasonable and valid, and all defenses to the strict enforcement thereof by the Employee are hereby waived by the Employee. 150 11. Reformation. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the non-compete or the confidentiality provisions hereof are unreasonably broad or otherwise unenforceable because of the length of their respective terms or the breadth of their territorial scope, or for any other reason, the parties hereto agree that such court may reform the terms and/or scope of such covenants so that the same are reasonable and, as reformed, shall be enforceable. 12. Remedies. Subject to Section 14 below, in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall provide written notice of such breach to the breaching party. The breaching party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice in which to cure its breach. If, on the thirty-first (31st) day after receipt of such notice, the breaching party shall have failed to cure such breach, the non-breaching party thereafter shall be entitled to seek damages. It is acknowledged that this Agreement is of a unique nature and of extraordinary value and of such a character that a breach hereof by the Employee shall result in irreparable damage and injury to the Company for which the Company may not have any adequate remedy at law. Therefore, if, on the thirty-first (31st) day after receipt of such notice, the breaching party shall have failed to cure such breach, the non-breaching party shall also be entitled to seek a decree of specific performance against the breaching party, or such other relief by way of restraining order, injunction or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with this Agreement. The remedies provided by this Section 13 are non-exclusive and the pursuit of such remedies shall not in any way limit any other remedy available to the parties with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any remedy available at law or equity with respect to any anticipatory or threatened breach of the provisions hereof. 13. Certain Provisions; Specific Performance. In the event of a breach by the Employee of the non-competition or confidentiality provisions hereof, such breach shall not be subject to the cure provision of Section 13 above and the Company shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief and a decree of specific performance against the Employee. Such remedy is non-exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy to which the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof may be entitled. Monetary breaches by the Company shall not be subject to the notice and cure provisions hereunder. 14. Consolidation; Merger; Sale of Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from combining, consolidating or merging with or into, transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, or entering into a partnership or joint venture with, another corporation or other entity, or effecting any other kind of corporate combination, provided that, the corporation resulting from or surviving such combination, consolidation or merger, or to which such assets are transferred, or such partnership or joint venture assumes this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder. Upon such a consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be assumed by, and be binding upon such resulting or surviving transferee corporation or such partnership or joint venture, and the term "Company," as used in this Agreement, shall mean such corporation, partnership or joint venture, or other entity and subject to the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Change of Control this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall entitle the Employee and his heirs, beneficiaries and representatives to exactly the same compensation, benefits, perquisites, payments and other rights as would have been their entitlement 151 had such combination, consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture not occurred. 15. Survival. Sections 9 through 14 shall survive the termination for any reason of this Agreement (whether such termination is by the Company, by the Employee, upon the expiration of this Agreement by its terms or otherwise); provided, however, that in the event that the Company ceases to exist and neither an affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof has assumed, at its option, the obligations of the Company hereunder, the Employee shall no longer be bound by the Non-Competition provision set forth in Section 9 hereof. 16. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be considered severable in the event that any of such provisions are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable. Such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions shall be automatically replaced by other provisions which are valid and enforceable and which are as similar as possible in term and intent to those provisions deemed to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 17. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Company and the Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, modified or discharged, nor may any provision hereof be waived, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. No course of conduct or dealing shall be construed to modify, amend or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. 18. Notices. All notices, request, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if physically delivered, delivered by express mail or other expedited service or upon receipt if mailed, postage prepaid, via first class mail as follows: (a) To the Company: I-LINK Worldwide, Inc.

EX-10 15 MEDCROSS, INC. 1995 DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION AND APPRECIATION RIGHTS PLAN ARTICLE I ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE Section 1.1. Medcross, Inc. (the "Company"), a Florida corporation, hereby establishes a stock option and appreciation rights plan to be named the Medcross, Inc. 1995 Director Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan (the "Director Plan"). Section 1.2. The purpose of this Director Plan is to induce persons who are directors of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) to remain with the Company and to provide such persons incentives and rewards in recognition of their contributions to the Company's progress. The Director Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, $.007 par value per share (the "Common Stock") which: (a) qualify as incentive stock options ("Incentive Options") under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to directors who are employees, and (b) do not so qualify ("Non-Qualified Options") to directors, including those who are not employees. This Director Plan also provides for the grant of stock appreciation rights ("Rights") in connection with the grant of options hereunder. Incentive Options and Non-Qualified Options may be collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Options" as the context may require. Section 1.3. All Options and other rights previously granted by the Company under any other plan previously adopted by the Company shall continue to be governed by such plan. All Options granted on or after the date that this Director Plan has been approved and adopted by the Company's board of directors (the "Board of Directors") shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Director Plan unless the terms of such an option specifically indicate that it is not to be so governed. ARTICLE II ADMINISTRATION Section 2.1. All determinations under this Director Plan concerning the selection of persons eligible to receive awards hereunder and with respect to the timing, pricing and amount of an award hereunder (other than pursuant to a non-discretionary formula hereinafter set forth) shall be made by an administrator (the "Administrator") who shall be charged with administration of this Director Plan. The Administrator shall be either: (a) the Board of Directors, if each member thereof is a "disinterested person" for the purposes of this Director Plan within the meaning of such term as defined by Rule 16b-3 (as such rule may be amended from time to time, "Rule 16b-3") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or (b) in the discretion of the Board of Directors by a committee (the "Committee") of not less than two members of the Board of Directors, each of whom is a "disinterested person." A "disinterested person" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 as in effect upon the date this Director Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors is a person who has not been granted or awarded equity securities (within the meaning of the 155 Exchange Act) under this or any other plan of the Company (or any affiliate thereof) at any time within one year prior to such person's service as a member of the Administrator, or during such service except as otherwise permitted by Rule 16b-3(c). In the event this Director Plan is administered by the Committee, the Committee shall select one of its members to serve as the chairman thereof, and shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it may determine. In such case, a majority of the total number of members of the Committee shall be necessary to constitute a quorum; and (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or (ii) the approval in writing by a majority of the members of the Committee, shall be necessary to constitute action by the Committee. With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under this Director Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of this Director Plan or action by the Administrator fails to so comply, it shall be deemed to be null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Administrator. Section 2.2. The provisions of this Director Plan relating to Incentive Options are intended to comply in every respect with Section 422 of the Code ("Section 422") and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In the event that any future statute or regulation shall modify Section 422, this Director Plan shall be deemed to incorporate by reference such modification. Any stock option agreement relating to the grant of any Incentive Option pursuant to this Director Plan, which option is outstanding and unexercised at the time that any modifying statute or regulation becomes effective, shall also be deemed to incorporate by reference such modification, and no notice of such modification need be given to the Optionee (as hereinafter defined). Any stock option agreement relating to an Incentive Option shall provide that the Optionee (as hereinafter defined) hold the stock received upon exercise of such Incentive Option for a minimum of two years from the date of grant of the Incentive Option and one year from the date of exercise of such Incentive Option, absent the written approval, consent or waiver of the Administrator. Section 2.3. If any provision of this Director Plan is determined to disqualify the shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of an Incentive Option granted under this Director Plan from the special tax treatment provided by Section 422, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate by reference the modification required to qualify such shares of Common Stock for said tax treatment. Section 2.4. The Company shall grant Options under this Director Plan in accordance with determinations made by the Administrator pursuant to the provisions of this Director Plan. All Options granted pursuant to this Director Plan shall be clearly identified as Incentive Options or Non-Qualified Options. The Administrator may from time to time adopt (and thereafter amend or rescind) such rules and regulations for carrying out the provisions of this Director Plan and take such action in the administration of this Director Plan, not inconsistent with the provisions hereof, as it shall deem proper. The Board of Directors or, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors, the Committee, as the Administrator, shall have plenary discretion, subject to the express provisions of this Director Plan, to determine which directors shall be granted Options, the number of shares subject to each Option, the time or times when an Option may be exercised (whether in whole or in installments), whether Rights under Section 7.6 hereof shall be granted, the terms and provisions of the respective option agreements (which need not be identical), including such terms 156 and provisions which may be amended from time to time as shall be required, in the judgment of the Administrator to conform to any change in any law or regulation applicable hereto, and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Director Plan. The interpretation and construction of any provision of this Director Plan by the Administrator (unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors) shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons. Section 2.5. Directors of the Company shall be granted Non-Qualified Options on a non-discretionary basis in accordance with the following formula: On (i) October 17, 1995, (ii) the first business day of January 1996 and (iii) the first business day of each January thereafter, each member of the Board of Directors then serving shall receive a Non-Qualified Option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value per share of such shares on that date. Each such Option shall be exercisable immediately and for ten years from the date of grant unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Director Plan. Each such Option shall be subject to the restrictions upon transfer, limitations on exercise and restrictions upon transfer of the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Option as are set forth elsewhere herein or as are imposed by applicable law, including without limitation applicable federal and state securities laws. Except as otherwise provided in this section, all Non-Qualified Options issued pursuant to this section shall be subject to the other terms and conditions of this Director Plan; to the extent such terms and conditions are inconsistent with this section, this section shall control. To the extent required pursuant to Rule 16b-3 as such rule relates to formula awards, this section shall not be amended more than once every six months other than to comport with changes in the Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder. Section 2.6. No member of the Administrator shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to administration of this Director Plan or the Options granted hereunder. A member of the Administrator shall be indemnified by the Company, pursuant to the Company's bylaws, for any expenses, judgments or other costs incurred as a result of a lawsuit filed against such member claiming any rights or remedies arising out of such member's participation in administration of this Director Plan. ARTICLE III TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES TO BE OPTIONED Section 3.1. There shall be reserved for issuance or transfer upon exercise of the Options to be granted from time to time under this Director Plan an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (subject to adjustment as provided in Article VIII hereof). The shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of any Option granted under this Director Plan may be shares of Common Stock previously issued and reacquired by the Company at any time or authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, as the Board of Directors from time to time may determine. Section 3.2. In the event that any Options outstanding under this Director Plan for any reason expire or are terminated without having been exercised in full or shares of Common Stock 157 subject to Options are surrendered in whole or in part pursuant to Rights granted under Section 7.6 hereof (except to the extent that shares of Common Stock are issued as payment to the holder of the Option upon such surrender) the unpurchased shares of Common Stock subject to such Option and any such surrendered shares may again be available for transfer under this Director Plan. Section 3.3. No Options shall be granted pursuant to this Director Plan to any Optionee after the tenth anniversary of the earlier of: (a) the date that this Director Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors, or (b) the date that this Director Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company. ARTICLE IV ELIGIBILITY Section 4.1. Subject to Section 2.5 above, Non-Qualified Options may be granted pursuant to this Director Plan to directors of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) as selected by the Administrator. Incentive Options may be granted pursuant to this Director Plan only to directors who are also employees of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) as selected by the Administrator. Persons granted Options pursuant to this Director Plan are referred to herein as "Optionees." For purposes of determining who is an employee with respect to eligibility for Incentive Options, Section 422 of the Code shall govern. The Administrator may determine (in its sole discretion) that any person who would otherwise be eligible to be granted Options shall, nonetheless, be ineligible to receive any award under this Director Plan. Section 4.2. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5 above, the Administrator will (in its discretion) determine the directors to be granted Options, the time or times at which Options shall be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Option, the terms of a vesting or forfeiture schedule, if any, the type of Option issued, the period during which Options may be exercised, the manner in which Options may be exercised and all other terms and conditions related to the Options; provided, however, no Option will be granted which has terms or conditions inconsistent with those stated in Articles V and VI hereof. Relevant factors in making such determinations may include the value of the services rendered by the respective Optionee, his or her present and potential contributions to the Company, and such other factors which the Administrator within its discretion deems to be relevant in accomplishing the purpose of this Director Plan. Section 4.3. No Options may be granted to any member of the Committee or, if this Director Plan is administered by the Board of Directors rather than the Committee, no Options (other than pursuant to a non-discretionary formula such as and including that which is set forth in Section 2.5 above which meets the conditions in Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(ii) under the Exchange Act) may be granted to any director, if such director has, during the one year prior to such person's service as a member of the Administrator of this Director Plan or during such service, received any equity securities pursuant to any plan of the Company or any of its affiliates (other than pursuant to the formula set forth in Section 2.5 of this Plan or otherwise in a manner described in Rule 16b- 3 as such rule may be amended from time to time), may be granted to any director unless a majority of the Board of Directors and a majority of the members of the Board of Directors members voting on the grant of such Options have not received equity securities hereunder (other 158 than pursuant to Section 2.5 above or otherwise in a manner described in Rule 16b-3 as such rule may be amended from time to time) at any time within one year prior to the date of such action, pursuant to this Director Plan or any other plan of the Company or any of its affiliates entitling such directors to acquire equity securities of the Company or any of its affiliates. ARTICLE V TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS Section 5.1. Each Option granted under this Director Plan shall be evidenced by a stock option certificate and agreement (the "Stock Option Certificate and Agreement") in a form consistent with the provisions of this Director Plan, provided that the following terms and conditions shall apply: (a) The price at which each share of Common Stock covered by an Option may be purchased shall be set forth in the Stock Option Certificate and Agreement and shall be determined by the Administrator, provided that the option price for any Incentive Option shall not be less than the "fair market value" of the shares of Common Stock at the time of grant determined in accordance with Section 5.1(b) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Incentive Option to purchase shares of Common Stock is granted pursuant to this Director Plan to an Optionee who, on the date of the grant, directly or indirectly owns more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company (or its parent or subsidiary), not including the shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Option, the minimum exercise price of such Option shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the "fair market value" of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant determined in accordance with Section 5.1(b) below. (b) The "fair market value" shall be determined by the Administrator, which determination shall be binding upon the Company and its directors. The determination of the fair market value shall be based upon the following: (i) if the shares of Common Stock are not listed and traded upon a recognized securities exchange and there is no report of stock prices with respect to the shares of Common Stock published by a recognized stock quotation service, on the basis of the recent purchases and sales of the shares of Common Stock in arms-length transactions; or (ii) if the shares of Common Stock are not then listed and traded upon a recognized securities exchange or listed for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market, and there are reports of stock prices by a recognized quotation service, upon the basis of the last reported sale or transaction price of such stock on the date of grant as reported by a recognized quotation service, or, if there is no last reported sale or transaction price on that day, then upon the basis of the mean of the last reported closing bid and closing asked prices for such stock on that day or on the date nearest preceding that day; or (iii) if the shares of Common Stock shall then be listed and traded upon a recognized securities exchange or listed for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market, upon the basis of the last reported sale or transaction price at which shares of Common Stock were traded on such recognized securities exchange on the date of grant or, if the shares of Common Stock were not traded on such date, upon the basis of the last reported sale or transaction price on the date nearest preceding that date. The Administrator shall also consider such other factors relating to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock as it shall deem appropriate. 159 (c) For the purpose of determining whether an Optionee owns more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, an Optionee is considered to own those shares which are owned directly or indirectly through brothers and sisters (including half-blooded siblings), spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants; and proportionately as a shareholder of a corporation, a partner of a partnership, and/or a beneficiary of a trust or an estate that owns shares of the Company. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Director Plan, in accordance with the provisions of Section 422(d) of the Code, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock of the Company with respect to which Incentive Options (without reference to this provision) are exercisable for the first time by any individual in any calendar year under any and all stock option plans of the Company, its subsidiary corporations and its parent (if any) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Options. (e) An Optionee may, in the Administrator's discretion, be granted more than one Incentive Option or Non-Qualified Option during the duration of this Director Plan, and may be issued a combination of Non-Qualified Options and Incentive Options. (f) Except as set forth in Section 2.5 above, the duration of any Option and any Right related thereto shall be within the sole discretion of the Administrator; provided, however, that any Incentive Option granted to a ten percent (10%) or less stockholder or any Non-Qualified Option shall, by its terms, be exercised within ten years after the date the Option is granted and any Incentive Option granted to a greater than ten percent (10%) stockholder shall, by its terms, be exercised within five years after the date the Option is granted. (g) An Option and any Right related thereto shall not be transferable by the Optionee other than by will, or by the laws of descent and distribution. An Option may be exercised during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee. (h) At least six months shall elapse from the date on which an Option is granted hereunder to the date on which any share of Common Stock underlying such Option is sold or any Right related thereto is exercised, unless the Administrator otherwise consents in writing. ARTICLE VI EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE OF OPTIONEE Section 6.1 If the employment or service of an Optionee is terminated for cause, the option rights of such Optionee, both accrued and future, under any then outstanding Non-Qualified or Incentive Option (except as to Options granted pursuant to Section 2.5 above) shall terminate immediately. "Cause" shall mean incompetence in the performance of duties, disloyalty, dishonesty, theft, embezzlement, unauthorized disclosure of patents, processes or trade secrets of the Company, individually or as an employee, partner, associate, officer or director of any organization. The determination of the existence and the proof of "cause" shall be made by the Board of Directors or the Committee and, subject to the review of any determination made by the Committee by the 160 Board of Directors, such determination shall be binding on the Optionee and the Company. Section 6.2. If the employment or service of the Optionee is terminated by either the Optionee or the Company for any reason other than for cause, death, or for disability, as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, the option rights of such Optionee under any then outstanding Non-Qualified or Incentive Option shall, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1(h) hereof, be exercisable by such Optionee at any time prior to the expiration of the Option or within three months after the date of such termination, whichever period of time is shorter, but only to the extent of the accrued right to exercise the Option at the date of such termination. Section 6.3. In the case of an Optionee who becomes disabled, as defined by Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, the option rights of such Optionee under any then outstanding Non-Qualified or Incentive Option shall, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1(h) hereof, be exercisable by such Optionee at any time prior to the expiration of the Option or within one year after the date of termination of employment or service due to disability, whichever period of time is shorter, but only to the extent of the accrued right to exercise the Option at the date of such termination. Section 6.4. In the event of the death of an Optionee, the option rights of such Optionee under any then outstanding Non-Qualified or Incentive Option shall be exercisable by the person or persons to whom these rights pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, at any time prior to the expiration of the Option or within three years after the date of death, whichever period of time is shorter, but only to the extent of the accrued right to exercise the Option at the date of death. If a person or estate acquires the right to exercise a Non-Qualified or Incentive Option by bequest or inheritance, the Administrator may require reasonable evidence as to the ownership of such Option, and may require such consents and releases of taxing authorities as the Administrator may deem advisable. Section 6.5. With the exception of Non-Qualified Options issued pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, the Administrator may also provide that a director who is also an employee must be continuously employed by the Company for such period of time as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems advisable before the right to exercise any portion of an Option granted to such employee will accrue, and may also set such other targets, restrictions or other terms relating to the employment of the Optionee which targets, restrictions, or terms must be fulfilled or complied with, as the case may be, prior to the exercise of any portion of an Option granted to any employee- director. Section 6.6. Options granted under this Director Plan shall not be affected by any change of duties or position, so long as the Optionee continues in the service of the Company. Section 6.7. Nothing contained in this Director Plan, or in any Option granted pursuant to this Director Plan, shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment or service by the Company nor interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Optionee's employment or service or change the Optionee's compensation at any time. 161 ARTICLE VII PURCHASE OF SHARES Section 7.1. Except as provided in this Article VII, an Option shall be exercised by tender to the Company of the full exercise price of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised and written notice of such exercise. The right to purchase shares of Common Stock shall be cumulative so that, once the right to purchase any shares has accrued, such shares or any part thereof may be purchased at any time thereafter until the expiration or termination of the Option. A partial exercise of an Option shall not affect the right of the Optionee to exercise the Option from time to time, in accordance with this Director Plan, as to the remaining number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option. The purchase price of the shares shall be in United States dollars, payable in cash or by certified bank check. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of cash, an Optionee may, with the approval of the Administrator, exercise his or her Option by tendering to the Company shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by him or her and having an aggregate fair market value at least equal to the full exercise price. The fair market value of any shares of Common Stock so surrendered shall be determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 5.1(b) hereof. Section 7.2. Except as provided in Article VI above, an Option may not be exercised unless the holder thereof is a director of the Company at the time of exercise. Section 7.3. No Optionee, or Optionee's executor, administrator, legatee, or distributee or other permitted transferee, shall be deemed to be a holder of any shares of Common Stock subject to an Option for any purpose whatsoever unless and until a stock certificate or certificates for such shares are issued to such person under the terms of this Director Plan. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Article VIII hereof. Section 7.4. If: (i) the listing, registration or qualification of the Options issued hereunder, or of any securities issuable upon exercise of such Options (the "Subject Securities") upon any securities exchange or quotation system or under federal or state law is necessary as a condition of or in connection with the issuance or exercise of the Options, or (ii) the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary as a condition of or in connection with the issuance or exercise of the Options, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver the certificates representing the Subject Securities or to accept or to recognize an Option exercise unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained. The Company will take reasonable action to so list, register or qualify the Options and the Subject Securities, or effect or obtain such consent or approval, so as to allow for their issuance. Section 7.5. An Optionee may be required to represent to the Company as a condition of his or her exercise of Options issued under this Director Plan that: (i) the Subject Securities acquired upon exercise of his or her Option are being acquired by him or her for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribution or resale, unless counsel for the Company is then of the view that such a representation is not necessary and is not required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any other applicable statute, law, regulation or rule; 162 and (ii) that the Optionee shall make no exercise or disposition of an Option or of the Subject Securities in contravention of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Optionees may also be required to provide (as a condition precedent to exercise of an Option) such documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Company to assure compliance with applicable law and the terms and conditions of this Director Plan and the subject Option. Section 7.6. The Administrator may, in its discretion, grant in connection with any Option, at any time prior to the exercise thereof, the right (previously defined as a "Right" or collectively, the "Rights") to surrender all or part of the Option to the extent that such Option is exercisable and receive in exchange an amount (payable in cash, shares of Common Stock valued at the then fair market value, or a combination thereof as determined by the Administrator) equal to the difference (the "Spread") between the then fair market value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Option (or portions thereof surrendered) and the option price payable upon the exercise of the Option (or portions thereof surrendered). Such Rights may be included in an Option only under the following conditions: (a) the Rights will expire no later than the expiration of the underlying Option; (b) the Rights may be for no more than one hundred percent (100%) of the Spread; (c) the Rights are transferable only when the underlying Option is transferable and under the same conditions; (d) the Rights may be exercised only when the underlying Option is eligible to be exercised; and (e) the Rights may be exercised only when the Spread is positive, i.e., when the market price of the Common Stock subject to the Option exceeds the exercise price of the Option. Section 7.7. An Option may also be exercised by tender to the Company of a written notice of exercise together with advice of the delivery of an order to a broker to sell part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to such exercise notice and an irrevocable order to such broker to deliver to the Company (or its transfer agent) sufficient proceeds from the sale of such shares to pay the exercise price and any withholding taxes. All documentation and procedures to be followed in connection with such a "cashless exercise" shall be approved in advance by the Administrator. ARTICLE VIII CHANGE IN NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING SHARES OFSTOCK, ADJUSTMENTS, REORGANIZATIONS, ETC. Section 8.1. In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of another corporation by reason of reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, combination of shares or a dividend payable in capital stock, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Administrator in the number and kind of shares for the purchase of which Options may be granted under this Director Plan, including the maximum number that may be granted to any one person. In addition, the Administrator shall make appropriate adjustments in the number and kind of shares as to which outstanding Options, or portions thereof then unexercised, shall be exercisable, to the end that the Optionee's proportionate interest shall be maintained as before the occurrence to the unexercised portion of the Option and with a corresponding adjustment in the option price per share. Any such adjustment made by the Administrator shall be conclusive. 163 Section 8.2. The grant of an Option pursuant to this Director Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. Section 8.3. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company as a result of which the outstanding securities of the class then subject to Options hereunder are changed into or exchanged for cash or property or securities not of the Company's issue, or upon a sale of substantially all the property of the Company to an association, person, party, corporation, partnership, or control group as that term is construed for purposes of the Exchange Act, this Director Plan shall terminate, and all Options theretofore granted hereunder shall terminate, unless provision be made in writing in connection with such transaction for the continuance of this Director Plan and/or for the assumption of Options theretofore granted, or the substitution for such Options of options covering the stock of a successor employer corporation, or a parent or a subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices, in which event this Director Plan and the Options theretofore granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided. If this Director Plan and unexercised Options shall terminate pursuant to the foregoing sentence, all persons owning any unexercised portions of the Options then outstanding shall have the right, at such time prior to the consummation of the transaction causing such termination as the Company shall designate, to exercise the unexercised portions of such Options, including the portions thereof which would, but for this Section 8.3, not yet be exercisable. ARTICLE IX DURATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION Section 9.1. The Board of Directors may at any time terminate this Director Plan or make such amendments hereto as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Company, without action on the part of the stockholders of the Company, unless such approval is required pursuant to Section 422 of the Code or the regulations thereunder or Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that no such termination or amendment shall, without the consent of the individual to whom any Option shall theretofore have been granted, affect or impair the rights of such individual under such Option, and provided further, that unless the holders of a majority of each of the classes of the Company's outstanding voting stock entitled to vote thereon shall have first approved thereof, no amendment of this Director Plan shall be made whereby: (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options under this Director Plan to all individuals, or any of them, shall be increased, except by operation of the adjustment provisions of Article VIII hereof, (b) the authority to administer this Director Plan by the Administrator shall be withdrawn, (c) the maximum term of the Options shall be extended, (d) the minimum option price of Incentive Options shall be decreased, (e) the price to Optionees to whom Options have been granted shall be changed, or (f) the class of individuals eligible to participate in this Director Plan is modified. Pursuant to SEC 422(b) of the Code, no Incentive Option may be granted pursuant to this Director Plan after ten years from the date this Director Plan is adopted or the date this Director Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier. 164 ARTICLE X RESTRICTIONS Section 10.1. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to exercise of Options granted under this Director Plan shall be subject to such restrictions on transfer and limitations as shall, in the opinion of the Administrator, be necessary or advisable to assure compliance with the laws, rules and regulations of the United States government or any state or jurisdiction thereof. In addition, except for those Non-Qualified Options issued pursuant to Section 2.5 above, the Administrator may in any Stock Option Certificate and Agreement impose such other restrictions upon the exercise of an Option or upon the sale or other disposition of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise thereof as the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine. By accepting an award pursuant to this Director Plan, each Optionee shall thereby agree to any such restrictions. Section 10.2. Any certificate issued to evidence shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall bear such legends and statements as the Administrator, the Board of Directors or counsel to the Company shall deem advisable to assure compliance with the laws, rules and regulations of the United States government or any state or jurisdiction thereof. No shares of Common Stock will be delivered pursuant to exercise of the Options granted under this Director Plan until the Company has obtained such consents or approvals from such regulatory bodies of the United States government or any state or jurisdiction thereof as the Administrator, the Board of Directors or counsel to the Company deems necessary or advisable. ARTICLE XI FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Section 11.1. The Company is vested with authority under this Director Plan to assist any employee to whom an Option is granted hereunder (including any director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who is also an employee) in the payment of the purchase price payable on exercise of such Option, by lending the amount of such purchase price to such employee on such terms and at such rates of interest and upon such security (or unsecured) as shall have been authorized by or under authority of the Board of Directors. Any such assistance shall comply with the requirements of Regulation G promulgated by the Board of the Federal Reserve System, as amended from time to time, and any other applicable law, rule or regulation. ARTICLE XII APPLICATION OF FUNDS Section 12.1. The proceeds received by the Company from the issuance and sale of Common Stock upon exercise of Options granted pursuant to this Director Plan are to be added to the general funds of the Company and used for its corporate purposes as determined by the Board of Directors. ARTICLE XIII 165 EFFECTIVENESS OF DIRECTOR PLAN Section 13.1. This Director Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board of Directors, and Options may be issued hereunder from and after that date subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 above. This Director Plan must be approved by the Company's stockholders in accordance with the applicable provisions (relating to the issuance of stock or options) of the Company's governing documents and state law or, if no such approval is prescribed therein, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at a duly held stockholders meeting at which a quorum representing a majority of all the Company's outstanding voting stock is present and voting (in person or by proxy) or, without regard to any required time period for approval, by any other method permitted by Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within one year of the adoption of this Director Plan by the Board of Directors or within such other time period required under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder, this Director Plan shall remain in force, provided however, that all Options issued and issuable hereunder shall automatically be deemed to be Non-Qualified Options. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, pursuant to the approval or adoption of this Director Plan by the Board of Directors, this Director Plan is executed and adopted as of the 19th day of September, 1995. Medcross, Inc. [CORPORATE SEAL] By: /s/ Henry Y.L. Toh Its: President ATTEST: By: /s/ Stephanie Giallourakis Secretary 166
EX-10 16 MEDCROSS, INC. 1995 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION AND APPRECIATION RIGHTS PLAN ARTICLE I ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE Section 1.1. Mecross, Inc. (the "Company"), a Florida corporation, hereby establishes a stock option and appreciation rights plan to be named the Mecross, Inc. 1995 Employee Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan (the "1995 Employee Plan"). Section 1.2. The purpose of this 1995 Employee Plan is to induce persons who are officers, employees and consultants (none of whom is also a director) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who are in a position to contribute materially to the Company's prosperity to remain with the Company, to offer said persons incentives and rewards in recognition of their contributions to the Company's progress, and to encourage said persons to continue to promote the best interests of the Company. This 1995 Employee Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.007 per share (the "Common Stock") which qualify as incentive stock options ("Incentive Options") under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to persons who are employees, as well as options which do not so qualify ("Non-Qualified Options") to be issued to persons, including those who are not employees. This 1995 Employee Plan also provides for grants of stock appreciation rights ("Rights") in connection with the grant of options under this 1995 Employee Plan. Incentive Options and Non-Qualified Options may be collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Options" as the context may require. Section 1.3. All options and other rights previously granted by the Company under any other plan previously adopted by the Company shall continue to be governed by such plan. All Options granted hereunder on or after the date that this 1995 Employee Plan has been approved and adopted by the Company's board of directors (the "Board of Directors") shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this 1995 Employee Plan unless the terms of such option specifically indicate that it is not to be so governed. ARTICLE II ADMINISTRATION Section 2.1. All determinations under this 1995 Employee Plan concerning the selection of persons eligible to receive awards under this 1995 Employee Plan and with respect to the timing, pricing and amount of an award under this 1995 Employee Plan (other than pursuant to a non- discretionary formula set forth in this Plan) shall be made by the administrator (the "Administrator") of this 1995 Employee Plan. The Administrator shall be either: (a) the Board of Directors, if each member of the Board of Directors is a "disinterested person" for the purposes of this 1995 Employee Plan within the meaning of such term as defined by Rule 16b-3 (as such rule may be amended from time to time, "Rule 16b-3"), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or (b) in the discretion of the Board of Directors by a committee (the "Committee") of not less than two members of the Board of Directors, each of whom is a 167 "disinterested person." A "disinterested person" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 as in effect upon the date this 1995 Employee Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors is a person who has not been granted or awarded equity securities (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) under this 1995 Employee Plan or any other plan of the Company or any affiliate thereof at any time within one year prior to such person's service as a member of the Administrator or during such service, except as otherwise permitted by Rule 16b-3(c). In the event this 1995 Employee Plan is administered by the Committee, the Committee shall select one of its members to serve as the chairman thereof and shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it may determine. In such case, a majority of the total number of members of the Committee shall be necessary to constitute a quorum; and (i) the affirmative act of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or (ii) the approval in writing by a majority of the members of the Committee, shall be necessary to constitute action by the Committee. With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under this 1995 Employee Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of this 1995 Employee Plan or action by the Administrator fails to so comply, it shall be deemed to be null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Administrator. Section 2.2. The provisions of this 1995 Employee Plan relating to Incentive Options are intended to comply in every respect with Section 422 of the Code ("Section 422") and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In the event that any future statute or regulation shall modify Section 422, this 1995 Employee Plan shall be deemed to incorporate by reference such modification. Any stock option agreement relating to the grant of any Incentive Option pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan, which option is outstanding and unexercised at the time that any modifying statute or regulation becomes effective, shall also be deemed to incorporate by reference such modification, and no notice of such modification need be given to the Optionee (as hereinafter defined). Any stock option agreement relating to an Incentive Option shall provide that the Optionee (as hereinafter defined) hold the stock received upon exercise of such Incentive Option for a minimum of two years from the date of grant of the Incentive Option and one year from the date of exercise of such Incentive Option, absent the written approval, consent or waiver of the Administrator. Section 2.3. If any provision of this 1995 Employee Plan is determined to disqualify the shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of an Incentive Option granted under this 1995 Employee Plan from the special tax treatment provided by Section 422, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate by reference the modification required to qualify such shares of Common Stock for said tax treatment. Section 2.4. The Company shall grant Options under this 1995 Employee Plan in accordance with determinations made by the Administrator pursuant to the provisions of this 1995 Employee Plan. All Options granted pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan shall be clearly identified as Incentive Options or Non-Qualified Options. The Administrator may from time to time adopt (and thereafter amend or rescind) such rules and regulations for carrying out this 1995 Employee Plan and take such action in the administration of this 1995 Employee Plan, not inconsistent with the provisions hereof, as it shall deem proper. The Board of Directors or, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors, the Committee, as the Administrator, shall have plenary discretion, subject to the express provisions of this 1995 Employee Plan, to determine which officers, 168 employees and consultants shall be granted Options, the number of shares subject to each Option, the time or times when an Option may be exercised (whether in whole or in installments), whether Rights under Section 7.6 hereof shall be granted, the terms and provisions of the respective option agreements (which need not be identical), including such terms and provisions which may be amended from time to time as shall be required, in the judgment of the Administrator, to conform to any change in any law or regulation applicable hereto, and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this 1995 Employee Plan. The interpretation and construction of any provision of this 1995 Employee Plan by the Administrator (unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors) shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons. Directors of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) may not participate in this 1995 Employee Plan. Section 2.5. No member of the Administrator shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to administration of this 1995 Employee Plan or the Options granted hereunder. A member of the Administrator shall be indemnified by the Company, pursuant to the Company's bylaws, for any expenses, judgments or other costs incurred as a result of a lawsuit filed against such member claiming any rights or remedies arising out of such member's participation in the administration of this 1995 Employee Plan. ARTICLE III TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES TO BE OPTIONED Section 3.1. There shall be reserved for issuance or transfer upon exercise of Options to be granted from time to time under this 1995 Employee Plan an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (subject to adjustment as provided in Article VIII hereof). The shares issued upon exercise of any Options granted under this 1995 Employee Plan may be shares of Common Stock previously issued and reacquired by the Company at any time or authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, as the Board of Directors from time to time may determine. Section 3.2. In the event that any Options outstanding under this 1995 Employee Plan for any reason expire or are terminated without having been exercised in full or shares of Common Stock subject to Options are surrendered in whole or in part pursuant to Rights granted under Section 7.6 hereof (except to the extent that shares of Common Stock are issued as payment to the holder of the Option upon such surrender) the unpurchased shares of Common Stock subject to such Option and any such surrendered shares of Common Stock may again be available for transfer under this 1995 Employee Plan. Section 3.3. No Options shall be granted pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan to any Optionee after the tenth anniversary of the earlier of: (a) the date that this 1995 Employee Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors, or (b) the date that this 1995 Employee Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company. 169 ARTICLE IV ELIGIBILITY Section 4.1. Non-Qualified Options may be granted pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan only to officers, employees and consultants of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) selected by the Administrator, and Incentive Options may be granted pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan only to employees (including officers who are also employees) of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) selected by the Administrator. Persons granted Options pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan are referred to herein as "Optionees." For purposes of determining who is an employee with respect to eligibility for Incentive Options, Section 422 of the Code shall govern. The Administrator may determine (in its sole discretion) that any person who would otherwise be eligible to be granted Options shall, nonetheless, be ineligible to receive any award under this 1995 Employee Plan. Section 4.2. The Administrator will (in its discretion) determine the persons to be granted Options, the time or times at which Options shall be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Option, the terms of a vesting or forfeiture schedule, if any, the type of Option issued, the period during which such Options may be exercised, the manner in which Options may be exercised and all other terms and conditions of the Options; provided, however, no Option will be granted which has terms or conditions inconsistent with those stated in Articles V and VI hereof. Relevant factors in making such determinations may include the value of the services rendered by the respective Optionee, his or her present and potential contributions to the Company, and such other factors which are deemed relevant in accomplishing the purpose of this 1995 Employee Plan. ARTICLE V TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS Section 5.1. Each Option granted under this 1995 Employee Plan shall be evidenced by a stock option certificate and agreement (the "Stock Option Certificate and Agreement") in a form consistent with this 1995 Employee Plan, provided that the following terms and conditions shall apply: (a) The price at which each share of Common Stock covered by an Option may be purchased shall be set forth in the Stock Option Certificate and Agreement and shall be determined by the Administrator, provided that the option price for any Incentive Option shall not be less than the "fair market value" of the shares of Common Stock at the time of grant determined in accordance with Section 5.1(b) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Incentive Option to purchase shares of Common Stock is granted pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan to an Optionee who, on the date of the grant, directly or indirectly owns more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company (or its parent or subsidiary), not including the shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the Option, the minimum exercise price of such Option shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the "fair market value" of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant determined in accordance with Section 5.1(b) below. 170 (b) The "fair market value" shall be determined by the Administrator, which determination shall be binding upon the Company and its officers, employees and consultants. The determination of the fair market value shall be based upon the following: (i) if the shares of Common Stock are not listed and traded upon a recognized securities exchange and there is no report of stock prices with respect to the shares of Common Stock published by a recognized stock quotation service, on the basis of the recent purchases and sales of the shares of Common Stock in arms-length transactions; or (ii) if the shares of Common Stock are not then listed and traded upon a recognized securities exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, and there are reports of stock prices by a recognized quotation service, upon the basis of the last reported sale or transaction price of such stock on the date of grant as reported by a recognized quotation service, or, if there is no last reported sale or transaction price on that day, then upon the basis of the mean of the last reported closing bid and closing asked prices for such stock on that day or on the date nearest preceding that day; or (iii) if the shares of Common Stock shall then be listed and traded upon a recognized securities exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, upon the basis of the last reported sale or transaction price at which shares of Common Stock were traded on such recognized securities exchange on the date of grant or, if the shares of Common Stock were not traded on such date, upon the basis of the last reported sale or transaction price on the date nearest preceding that date. The Administrator shall also consider such other factors relating to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock as it shall deem appropriate. (c) For the purpose of determining whether an Optionee owns more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, an Optionee is considered to own those shares which are owned directly or indirectly through brothers and sisters (including half-blooded siblings), spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants; and proportionately as a shareholder of a corporation, a partner of a partnership, and/or a beneficiary of a trust or an estate that owns shares of the Company. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this 1995 Employee Plan, in accordance with the provisions of Section 422(d) of the Code, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock of the Company with respect to which Incentive Options (without reference to this provision) are exercisable for the first time by any individual in any calendar year under any and all stock option plans of the Company, its subsidiary corporations and its parent (if any) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Options. (e) An Optionee may, in the Administrator's discretion, be granted more than one Incentive Option or Non-Qualified Option during the duration of this 1995 Employee Plan, and may be issued a combination of Non-Qualified Options and Incentive Options; provided, however, that non-employees are not eligible to receive Incentive Options and directors are not eligible to receive any Options hereunder. (f) The duration of any Option and any Right related thereto shall be within the sole discretion of the Administrator; provided, however, that any Incentive Option granted to a ten percent (10%) or less stockholder or any Non-Qualified Option shall, by its terms, be exercised within ten years after the date the Option is granted and any Incentive Option granted to a greater than ten percent (10%) stockholder shall, by its terms, be exercised within five years after the date the Option is granted. 171 (g) An Option and any Right related thereto shall not be transferable by the Optionee other than by will, or by the laws of descent and distribution. An Option may be exercised during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee. (h) At least six months shall elapse from the date on which an Option is granted to an officer or beneficial owner of more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company under this 1995 Employee Plan by the Administrator to the date on which any share of Common Stock underlying such Option is sold or any Right related thereto is exercised, unless the Administrator otherwise consents in writing. ARTICLE VI EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE OF OPTIONEE Section 6.1. If the employment or service of an Optionee is terminated for cause, the option rights of such Optionee, both accrued and future, under any then outstanding Non-Qualified or Incentive Option shall terminate immediately. "Cause" shall mean incompetence in the performance of duties, disloyalty, dishonesty, theft, embezzlement, unauthorized disclosure of patents, processes or trade secrets of the Company, individually or as an employee, partner, associate, officer or director of any organization. The determination of the existence and the proof of "cause" shall be made by the Administrator and, subject to the review of any determination made by the Administrator, such determination shall be binding on the Optionee and the Company. Section 6.2. If the employment or service of the Optionee is terminated by either the Optionee or the Company for any reason other than for cause, death, or for disability, as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, the option rights of such Optionee under any then outstanding Non-Qualified or Incentive Option shall, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1(h) hereof, be exercisable by such Optionee at any time prior to the expiration of the Option or within three months after the date of such termination, whichever period of time is shorter, but only to the extent of the accrued right to exercise the Option at the date of such termination. Section 6.3. In the case of an Optionee who becomes disabled, as defined by Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, the option rights of such Optionee under any then outstanding Non-Qualified or Incentive Option shall, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1(h) hereof, be exercisable by such Optionee at any time prior to the expiration of the Option or within one year after the date of termination of employment or service due to disability, whichever period of time is shorter, but only to the extent of the accrued right to exercise the Option at the date of such termination. Section 6.4. In the event of the death of an Optionee, the option rights of such Optionee under any then outstanding Non-Qualified or Incentive Option shall be exercisable by the person or persons to whom these rights pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, at any time prior to the expiration of the Option or within three years after the date of death, whichever period of time is shorter, but only to the extent of the accrued right to exercise the Option at the date of death. If a person or estate acquires the right to exercise a Non-Qualified or Incentive Option by bequest or inheritance, the Administrator may require reasonable evidence as to the ownership of such Option, and may require such consents and releases of taxing authorities as the Administrator may deem advisable. 172 Section 6.5. The Administrator may also provide that an employee must be continuously employed by the Company for such period of time as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems advisable before the right to exercise any portion of an Option granted to such employee will accrue, and may also set such other targets, restrictions or other terms relating to the employment of the Optionee which targets, restrictions, or terms must be fulfilled or complied with, as the case may be, prior to the exercise of any portion of an Option granted to any employee. Section 6.6. Options granted under this 1995 Employee Plan shall not be affected by any change of duties or position, so long as the Optionee continues in the service of the Company. Section 6.7. Nothing contained in this 1995 Employee Plan, or in any Option granted pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan, shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment or service by the Company nor interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Optionee's employment or service or change the Optionee's compensation at any time. ARTICLE VII PURCHASE OF SHARES Section 7.1. Except as provided in this Article VII, an Option shall be exercised by tender to the Company of the full exercise price of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is exercised and written notice of the exercise. The right to purchase shares of Common Stock shall be cumulative so that, once the right to purchase any shares of Common Stock has accrued, such shares or any part thereof may be purchased at any time thereafter until the expiration or termination of the Option. A partial exercise of an Option shall not affect the right of the Optionee to exercise the Option from time to time, in accordance with this 1995 Employee Plan, as to the remaining number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option. The purchase price of the shares shall be in United States dollars, payable in cash or by certified bank check. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of cash, an Optionee may, with the approval of the Administrator, exercise his or her Option by tendering to the Company shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by him or her and having an aggregate fair market value at least equal to the full exercise price. The fair market value of any shares of Common Stock so surrendered shall be determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 5.1(b) hereof. Section 7.2. Except as provided in Article VI above, an Option may not be exercised unless the holder thereof is an officer, employee, or consultant of the Company at the time of exercise. Section 7.3. No Optionee, or Optionee's executor, administrator, legatee, or distributee or other permitted transferee, shall be deemed to be a holder of any shares of Common Stock subject to an Option for any purpose whatsoever unless and until a stock certificate or certificates for such shares are issued to such person under the terms of this 1995 Employee Plan. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Article VIII hereof. 173 Section 7.4. If: (i) the listing, registration or qualification of the Options issued hereunder, or of any securities issuable upon exercise of such Options (the "Subject Securities") upon any securities exchange or quotation system or under federal or state law is necessary as a condition of or in connection with the issuance or exercise of the Options, or (ii) the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary as a condition of or in connection with the issuance or exercise of the Options, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver the certificates representing the Subject Securities or to accept or to recognize an Option exercise unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained. The Company will take reasonable action to so list, register, or qualify the Options and the Subject Securities, or effect or obtain such consent or approval, so as to allow for their issuance. Section 7.5. An Optionee may be required to represent to the Company as a condition of his or her exercise of Options issued under this 1995 Employee Plan that: (i) the Subject Securities acquired upon exercise of his or her Option are being acquired by him or her for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribution or resale, unless counsel for the Company is then of the view that such a representation is not necessary and is not required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any other applicable statute, law, regulation or rule; and (ii) that the Optionee shall make no exercise or disposition of an Option or of the Subject Securities in contravention of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Optionees may also be required to provide (as a condition precedent to exercise of an Option) such documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Company to assure compliance with applicable law and the terms and conditions of this 1995 Employee Plan and the subject Option. Section 7.6. The Administrator may, in its discretion, grant in connection with any Option, at any time prior to the exercise thereof, the right (previously defined as a "Right" or collectively, the "Rights") to surrender all or part of the Option to the extent that such Option is exercisable and receive in exchange an amount (payable in cash, shares of Common Stock valued at the then fair market value, or a combination thereof as determined by the Administrator) equal to the difference (the "Spread") between the then fair market value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Option (or portions thereof surrendered) and the option price payable upon the exercise of the Option (or portions thereof surrendered). Such Rights may be included in an Option only under the following conditions: (a) the Rights will expire no later than the expiration of the underlying Option; (b) the Rights may be for no more than one hundred percent (100%) of the Spread; (c) the Rights are transferable only when the underlying Option is transferable and under the same conditions; (d) the Rights may be exercised only when the underlying Option is eligible to be exercised; and (e) the Rights may be exercised only when the Spread is positive, i.e., when the market price of the stock subject to the Option exceeds the exercise price of the Option. Section 7.7. An Option may also be exercised by tender to the Company of a written notice of exercise together with advice of the delivery of an order to a broker to sell part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to such exercise notice and an irrevocable order to such broker to deliver to the Company (or its transfer agent) sufficient proceeds from the sale of such shares to pay the exercise price and any withholding taxes. All documentation and procedures to be followed in connection with such a "cashless exercise" shall be approved in advance by the Administrator. 174 ARTICLE VIII CHANGE IN NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING SHARES OFSTOCK, ADJUSTMENTS, REORGANIZATIONS, ETC. Section 8.1. In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of another corporation by reason of reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, combination of shares, or a dividend payable in capital stock, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Administrator in the number and kind of shares for the purchase of which Options may be granted under this 1995 Employee Plan, including the maximum number that may be granted to any one person. In addition, the Administrator shall make appropriate adjustments in the number and kind of shares as to which outstanding Options, or portions thereof then unexercised, shall be exercisable, to the end that the Optionee's proportionate interest shall be maintained as before the occurrence to the unexercised portion of the Option and with a corresponding adjustment in the option price per share. Any such adjustment made by the Administrator shall be conclusive. Section 8.2. The grant of an Option pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. Section 8.3. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company as a result of which the outstanding securities of the class then subject to Options hereunder are changed into or exchanged for cash or property or securities not of the Company's issue, or upon a sale of substantially all the property of the Company to an association, person, party, corporation, partnership, or control group as that term is construed for purposes of the Exchange Act, this 1995 Employee Plan shall terminate, and all Options theretofore granted hereunder shall terminate, unless provision be made in writing in connection with such transaction for the continuance of this 1995 Employee Plan and/or for the assumption of Options theretofore granted, or the substitution for such Options of options covering the stock of a successor employer corporation, or a parent or a subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices, in which event this 1995 Employee Plan and options theretofore granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided. If this 1995 Employee Plan and unexercised Options shall terminate pursuant to the foregoing sentence, all persons owning any unexercised portions of Options then outstanding shall have the right, at such time prior to the consummation of the transaction causing such termination as the Company shall designate, to exercise the unexercised portions of their Options, including the portions thereof which would, but for this Section 8.3 not yet be exercisable. SECTION IX DURATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION Section 9.1. The Board of Directors may at any time terminate this 1995 Employee Plan or make such amendments hereto as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Company, without action on the part of the stockholders of the Company unless such approval is 175 required pursuant to Section 422 of the Code or the regulations thereunder or Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that no such termination or amendment shall, without the consent of the individual to whom any Option shall theretofore have been granted, affect or impair the rights of such individual under such Option, and provided, further, that unless the holders of a majority of each of the classes of the Company's outstanding voting stock entitled to vote thereon shall have first approved thereof, no amendment of this 1995 Employee Plan shall be made whereby: (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock which may be optioned under this 1995 Employee Plan to all individuals, or any of them, shall be increased, except by operation of the adjustment provisions of Article VIII hereof, (b) the authority to administer this 1995 Employee Plan by the Administrator shall be withdrawn, (c) the maximum term of the Options shall be extended, (d) the minimum option price of Incentive Options shall be decreased, (e) the price to Optionees to whom Options have been granted shall be changed, or (f) the class of individuals eligible to participate in this 1995 Employee Plan is modified. Pursuant to Section 422(b) of the Code, no Incentive Option may be granted pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan after ten years from the date this 1995 Employee Plan is adopted or the date this 1995 Employee Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier. ARTICLE X RESTRICTIONS Article 10.1. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan shall be subject to such restrictions on transfer and limitations as shall, in the opinion of the Administrator, be necessary or advisable to assure compliance with the laws, rules and regulations of the United States government or any state or jurisdiction thereof. In addition, the Administrator may in any Stock Option Certificate and Agreement impose such other restrictions upon the exercise of an Option or upon the sale or other disposition of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise thereof as the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine. By accepting an award pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan, each Optionee shall thereby agree to any such restrictions. Article 10.2. Any certificate issued to evidence shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an Option shall bear such legends and statements as the Administrator, the Board of Directors or counsel to the Company shall deem advisable to assure compliance with the laws, rules and regulations of the United States government or any state or jurisdiction thereof. No shares of Common Stock will be delivered pursuant to exercise of the Options granted under this 1995 Employee Plan until the Company has obtained such consents or approvals from such regulatory bodies of the United States government or any state or jurisdiction thereof as the Administrator, the Board of Directors or counsel to the Company deems necessary or advisable. ARTICLE XI FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Article 11.1. The Company is vested with authority under this 1995 Employee Plan to assist any employee to whom an Option is granted hereunder (including any officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who is also an employee) in the payment of the purchase price payable on 176 exercise of such Option, by lending the amount of such purchase price to such employee on such terms and at such rates of interest and upon such security (or unsecured) as shall have been authorized by or under authority of the Board of Directors. Any such assistance shall comply with the requirements of Regulation G promulgated by the Board of the Federal Reserve System, as amended from time to time, and any other applicable law, rule or regulation. ARTICLE XII APPLICATION OF FUNDS Article 12.1. The proceeds received by the Company from the issuance and sale of Common Stock upon exercise of Options granted pursuant to this 1995 Employee Plan are to be added to the general funds of the Company and used for its corporate purposes as determined by the Board of Directors. ARTICLE XIII EFFECTIVENESS OF PLAN Article 13.1. This 1995 Employee Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board of Directors, and Options may be issued hereunder from and after that date subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 above. This 1995 Employee Plan must be approved by the Company's stockholders in accordance with the applicable provisions (relating to the issuance of stock or options) of the Company's governing documents and state law or, if no such approval is prescribed therein, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at a duly held stockholders meeting at which a quorum representing a majority of all the Company's outstanding voting stock is present and voting (in person or by proxy) or, without regard to any required time period for approval, by any other method permitted by Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within one year of the adoption of this 1995 Employee Plan by the Board of Directors or within such other time period required under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder, this 1995 Employee Plan shall remain in force, provided however, that all Options issued and issuable hereunder shall automatically be deemed to be Non-Qualified Options. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, pursuant to the approval of this 1995 Employee Plan by the Board of Directors, this 1995 Employee Plan is executed and adopted as of the 19th day of September, 1995. Medcross, Inc. [CORPORATE SEAL] By: /s/ Henry Y.L. Toh Its: President ATTEST: By: /s/ Stephanie Giallourakis Secretary 177
EX-10 17 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into as of this ____ day of April, 1996 between I-Link Worldwide Inc., a Utah corporation (the "Company") and John Edwards, an individual resident of Provo, Utah (the "Employee"), and shall be effective upon execution.

In consideration of such employment, the Employee agrees that he shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, individually or as a member of any partnership or joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, employee or agent of any other person, firm, corporation, business organization or other entity, engage in any trade or business activity or pursuit for his own account or for, or on behalf of, any other person, firm, corporation, business organization or other entity, irrespective of whether the same competes, conflicts or interferes with that of the Company or the performance of the Employee's obligations hereunder; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to require the Employee to change or terminate existing relationships or to divest himself from existing ownership interests in other entities or to prevent the Employee from investing in the stock of any corporation, which does not compete with the Company, which is listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market if the Employee does not and will not as a result of such investment own more than five percent (5%) of the stock of such corporation ("Permitted Investments"). The Employee represents and warrants that he is not party to any agreement, oral or written, which restricts in any way: (a) his ability to perform his obligations hereunder; or (b) his right to compete with a previous employer or such employer's business. 4. Compensation and Benefits.

(c) Withholding and Employment Tax.

Other Benefits The Company shall provide the Employee health insurance for the Employee and his dependents, life insurance, and disability insurance benefits and such other benefits as are generally provided to executive officers of the Company.

Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, employment hereunder may be terminated: (a) By the Company, in the event of the employee's death or Disability or for "Just Cause." "Just Cause" shall be defined to include: (i) the Employee's indictment of a crime constituting a felony or conviction of a crime involving an act or acts of dishonesty, fraud or moral turpitude; or (ii) violation of any material Company policy or failure to observe any directive of the Board of Directors. The Employee shall be deemed to have a "Disability" for purposes of this Agreement if he is unable to perform, by reason of physical or mental incapacity, his duties or obligations under this Agreement for a total period of ninety (90) days in any 365-day period. The 180 Board of Directors shall determine whether and when the Disability of the Employee has occurred and such determination shall not be arbitrary or unreasonable. The Company shall by written notice to the Employee given within thirty (30) days after discovery of the occurrence of an event or circumstance which constitutes "Just Cause," specify the event or circumstance giving rise to the Company's exercise of its right under Section 7(a) and, with respect to Just Cause arising under Section 7(a)(i), the Employee's employment hereunder shall be deemed terminated as of the date of such notice; with respect to Just Cause arising under Sections 7(a)(ii) the Company shall provide the Employee with thirty (30) days written notice of such violation or failure and the Employee shall be given reasonable opportunity during such thirty (30) day period to cure the subject violation or failure; or (b) By the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that in such event the Company shall, as liquidated damages or severance pay, or both, pay to the Employee an amount equal to the Employee's Monthly Compensation (as defined in Section 4(a) hereof) for the remaining term hereof (the "Remaining Compensation"); or (c) By the Employee, upon any violation of any material provision of this Agreement by the Company, which violation remains unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of the same is delivered to the Company by the Employee or in the event of a "Change In Control" as defined in Section 8(b) hereof, provided that in such event, the Company shall, as liquidated damages or severance pay, or both, pay to the Employee the Remaining Compensation; or (d) Failure to timely make more than one monthly payment of Remaining Compensation under Section 7(b) or 7(c) hereof shall result in the Company being obligated to pay the balance of the Remaining Compensation to the Employee in a lump sum distribution and the Option under Section 4(d) shall fully vest as set forth herein. 8. Non-Competition. Notwithstanding any earlier termination, during the Period of Employment and for one (1) year thereafter: (a) The Employee shall not, anywhere in North America or in any other place or venue where the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof now conducts or operates, or may conduct or operate its business in the future, directly or indirectly, individually or as a member of any partnership or joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, employee or agent of any other person, firm, corporation, business organization or other entity, participate in, engage in, solicit or have any financial or other interest in any activity or any business or other enterprise in the field of marketing, distribution, sale, production, research or development of Internet related access services or any services or products primarily using the Internet as a means of delivery, or in any other field which is or may be reasonably expected to become competitive with the current or contemplated business of the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof (unless the Board of Directors shall have authorized such activity and the Company shall have consented thereto in writing), as an individual or as a member of any partnership or joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, investor, employee or agent of any other person, firm, corporation, business organization or other entity; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent the employee from investing in Permitted Investments; and 181 (b) The Employee shall not: (i) solicit or induce any employee of the Company to terminate his employment or otherwise leave the Company's employ or hire any such employee (unless the Board of Directors shall have authorized such employment and the Company shall have consented thereto in writing); or (ii) contact, service or solicit any clients, customers, vendors, suppliers or other accounts of the Company, either as an individual or as a member of any partnership or joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, investor, employee or agent of any other person, firm, corporation, business organization or other entity with respect to any business, matter, service or product related to similar, comparable to or otherwise competitive with that which is provided by the Company; provided however, that the provisions of this Section 9 shall be of no force and effect in the event of a Change of Control. A Change in Control shall be deemed to occur if: (a) Medcross, Inc. is merged into another corporation and, after such merger, the voting securities of Medcross outstanding immediately prior to such merger represent less than 75% of the voting securities of the surviving corporation, (b) Medcross does not continue to own at least 75% of outstanding stock of the Company, or (c) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold. 9. Confidential Information. The parties hereto recognize that it is fundamental to the business and operation of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof to preserve the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information of the foregoing concerning the Internet services industry. The strength and good will of the Company is derived from the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information generated from experience through the activities undertaken by the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof. The disclosure of any of such information and the knowledge thereof on the part of competitors would be beneficial to such competitors and detrimental to the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, as would the disclosure of information about the marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, design specifications, analytical techniques, concepts, ideas, process developments (whether or not patentable), customer and client agreements, vendor and supplier agreements and similar items or technologies. By reason of his being an employee of the Company, in the course of his employment, the Employee has or shall have access to, and has obtained or shall obtain, specialized knowledge, trade secrets and confidential information such as that described herein about the business and operation of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof. Therefore, the Employee hereby agrees as follows, recognizing and acknowledging that the Company is relying on the following in entering into this Agreement: (a) The Employee hereby sells, transfers and assigns to the Company, or to any person or entity designated by the Company, any and all right, title and interest of the Employee in and to all inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements, whether patented or unpatented, and copyrightable material, made or conceived by the Employee solely or jointly, in whole or in part, during the term hereof which: (i) relate to methods, apparatus, designs, products, processes or devices distributed, sold, leased, used or under construction or development by the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof; or (ii) otherwise relate to or pertain to the business, operations or affairs of the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof. The Company shall acquire all right, title and interest to the Employee's inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements whether made or conceived during the term hereof or before. The Employee shall make adequate written records of all inventions (which records shall be the Company's property) and shall communicate promptly and disclose to the Company, in such form as the Company requests, all information, details and data pertaining to such inventions, ideas, disclosures and 182 improvements. Whether during the Period of Employment or thereafter, the Employee shall execute and deliver to the Company such formal transfers and assignments and such other papers and documents as may be required of the Employee to permit the Company or any person or entity designated by the Company to file, enforce and prosecute the patent applications relating to any of the foregoing and, as to copyrightable material, to obtain copyright thereon; and (b) Notwithstanding any earlier termination, during the Period of Employment and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Employee shall keep secret and retain in strict confidence, and shall not, except in furtherance of the Company's business, use, disclose to others, or publish any information, other than information which is in the public domain or becomes publicly available through no wrongful act on the part of the Employee, which information shall be deemed not to be confidential information, relating to the business, operation or other affairs of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, including but not limited to confidential information concerning the marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, products, methods, guidelines, procedures, engineering designs and standards, design specifications, analytical techniques, technical information, customer, client, vendor or supplier information, employee information, and any and all other confidential information acquired by him in the course of his past or future services for the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof. The Employee shall hold as the Company's property all notes, memoranda, books, records, papers, letters, formulas and other data and all copies thereof and therefrom in any way relating to the business, operation or other affairs of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, whether made by him or otherwise coming into his possession. Upon termination of his employment or upon the demand of the Company, at any time, the Employee shall deliver the same to the Company within twenty-four (24) hours of such termination or demand. 10. Reasonableness of Restrictions. The Employee hereby agrees that the restrictions in this Agreement, including without limitation, those relating to the duration of the provisions hereof and the territory to which such restrictions apply, are necessary and fundamental to the protection of the business and operation of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, and are reasonable and valid, and all defenses to the strict enforcement thereof by the Employee are hereby waived by the Employee. 11. Reformation. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the non-compete or the confidentiality provisions hereof are unreasonably broad or otherwise unenforceable because of the length of their respective terms or the breadth of their territorial scope, or for any other reason, the parties hereto agree that such court may reform the terms and/or scope of such covenants so that the same are reasonable and, as reformed, shall be enforceable. provisions of this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall provide written notice of such breach to the breaching party. The breaching party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice in which to cure its breach. If, on the thirty-first (31st) day after receipt of such notice, the breaching party shall have failed to cure such breach, the non-breaching party thereafter shall be entitled to seek damages. It is acknowledged that this Agreement is of a unique nature and of extraordinary value and of such a character that a breach hereof by the Employee shall result in irreparable damage and injury to the Company for which the Company may not have any adequate remedy at law. Therefore, if, on the thirty-first (31st) day after receipt of such notice, the breaching 183 party shall have failed to cure such breach, the non-breaching party shall also be entitled to seek a decree of specific performance against the breaching party, or such other relief by way of restraining order, injunction or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with this Agreement. The remedies provided by this Section 13 are non-exclusive and the pursuit of such remedies shall not in any way limit any other remedy available to the parties with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any remedy available at law or equity with respect to any anticipatory or threatened breach of the provisions hereof. 13. Certain Provisions; Specific Performance. In the event of a breach by the Employee of the non-competition or confidentiality provisions hereof, such breach shall not be subject to the cure provision of Section 13 above and the Company shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief and a decree of specific performance against the Employee. Such remedy is non-exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy to which the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof may be entitled. Monetary breaches by the Company shall not be subject to the notice and cure provisions hereunder. 14. Consolidation; Merger; Sale of Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from combining, consolidating or merging with or into, transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, or entering into a partnership or joint venture with, another corporation or other entity, or effecting any other kind of corporate combination, provided that, the corporation resulting from or surviving such combination, consolidation or merger, or to which such assets are transferred, or such partnership or joint venture assumes this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder. Upon such a consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be assumed by, and be binding upon such resulting or surviving transferee corporation or such partnership or joint venture, and the term "Company," as used in this Agreement, shall mean such corporation, partnership or joint venture, or other entity and subject to the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Change of Control this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall entitle the Employee and his heirs, beneficiaries and representatives to exactly the same compensation, benefits, perquisites, payments and other rights as would have been their entitlement had such combination, consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture not occurred. 15. Survival. Sections 9 through 14 shall survive the termination for any reason of this Agreement (whether such termination is by the Company, by the Employee, upon the expiration of this Agreement by its terms or otherwise); provided, however, that in the event that the Company ceases to exist and neither an affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof has assumed, at its option, the obligations of the Company hereunder, the Employee shall no longer be bound by the Non-Competition provision set forth in Section 9 hereof. 16. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be considered severable in the event that any of such provisions are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable. Such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions shall be automatically replaced by other provisions which are valid and enforceable and which are as similar as possible in term and intent to those provisions deemed to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 184 17. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Company and the Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, modified or discharged, nor may any provision hereof be waived, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. No course of conduct or dealing shall be construed to modify, amend or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. 18. Notices.
